The Admission and Integration of Refugees in Europe

""This is a timely and important book analysing critically the interplay between legal rules and policy implementation in the different stages of admission, reception and integration of refugees in Europe. This book will be a highly useful resource for researchers and experts in the broader migration and asylum governance field."" Anna Triandafyllidou, Professor, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration, Toronto Metropolitan University ""An incisive and interdisciplinary collection that provides a wealth of insight into the vitally important issues of refugee protection and integration."" Andrew Geddes, Professor of Migration Studies and the Director of the Migration Policy Centre, European University Institute ""One of the burning contemporary political and social issues in Europe’s the admission and integration of refugees. Although Europe (other than Türkiye) hosts relative small numbers of the world’s refugees, their treatment is a political minefield across the continent. This book provides a much needed reflection on both admission and integration of refugees into Europe. It unravels some of the myths and clarifies the realities regarding refugees and how states can fulfil their international obligations to provide them with durable protection."" Elspeth Guild, Global Professor of Social Justice, University of Liverpool ""The authors analyze the multi-level governance of the admission and integration of refugees at European and national level. The analysis takes the interrelatedness of admission and (broadly defined) integration as point of departure and demonstrates convincingly that this multi-layered, pluriform relationship is inherently contentious and often leads to unintended outcomes.""
