This open access book describes how the numerous arrivals of asylum
seekers since 2015 shaped reception and integration processes in
Europe. It addresses the structuration of asylum and reception
systems, and spaces and places of reception on European, national,
regional and local level. It also analyses perceptions and
discourses on asylum and refugees, their evolvement and the
consequences for policy development. Furthermore, it examines
practices and policy developments in the field of refugee reception
and integration. The volume shows and explains a variety of refugee
reception and integration strategies and practices as specific
outcome of multilevel governance processes in Europe. By addressing
and contextualizing those multiple experiences of asylum seeker
reception, the book is a valuable contribution to the literature on
migration and integration, societal development and political
culture in Europe.

One of the challenges to present Western welfare states is
worldwide population mobility as part of the wider globalization
process. Despite having reached unprecedented levels of prosperity,
Western welfare states are pervaded by a sense of unease, if not
crisis. Many observers fear that globalization is undermining the
state as an effective agency for ensuring the economic and social
security of its inhabitants. An important factor in these fears is
the incapacity of modern states to manage international migration.
Social scientists have become aware of an increasing discrepancy
between policies toward migration and what is really happening.
This book resulted from a conference on the subject held in
Amsterdam in 2002 at the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies
in collaboration with the Department of Geography and Planning of
the University of Amsterdam. Migration experts from different
countries and disciplines contributed to this volume, which is
relevant for all social scientists and policy makers in the field
of migration.
