Crisis governance of the refugee and migrant influx into Europe in 2015: a tale of disintegration

Enhanced local-level willingness and ability to settle refugees: Decentralization and local responses to the refugee crisis in Norway

“…The refugee crisis underscored the interrelationship between the local, national, and global levels, showing that local responses to the global refugee crisis matter-despite the incomplete refugee governance at EU level found by other studies (Morsut & Kruke, 2018;Scipioni, 2018;Wolf & Ossewaarde, 2018). Further, the local-level management of the crisis helped to make the role of the municipalities more explicit as autonomous actors in questions of integration, with a tendency towards decoupling of policies between the local and the national levels.…”

“…However, as Schiller and Hackett (2018) note, little is known about the local dimension of migration policymaking in crisis contexts. More studies have focused on the supranational level, examining the incomplete EU crisis governance of the 2015 refugee influx (Morsut & Kruke, 2018;Scipioni, 2018;Wolf & Ossewaarde, 2018).…”

Precarious bodies: The securitization of the “veiled” woman in European human rights

“…The Court's deference to populism is further understood in relation to the wider geo‐political context such as the rise of unpredictable international terrorism by non‐state actors (Cronin, 2002/03) combined with “home‐grown” terrorism carried out by second and third generation Muslims in western Europe (and the United States), which has grown since 2001 in response to transnational grievances and which targets civilians (Wilner & Dubouloz, 2010). These developments coincided with the arrival of refugees displaced by Middle Eastern wars leading to the engagement in crisis governance including emergency controls, border controls and surveillance alongside intra‐European conflict because European states differ in their refugee and immigration policies (Morsat & Kruke, 2018).…”

Social Integration of People With a Migration Background in European Sports Clubs

“…European societies face important challenges when it comes to social integration of people with migration background, particularly in times of refugee crisis (e.g. Morsut & Kruke, 2018). Voluntary sports clubs (VSCs) are often promoted as an important medium to meet these challenges as they can provide valuable social settings for integrating these specific population groups within an organisation as well as into broader society (Author, 2016).…”
