This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of European migration policy, offering a comprehensive overview of the various institutional frameworks and actors involved. It explores the roles of local councils, local media, local economies, and local civil society initiatives in shaping migration dynamics across the continent. While research has extensively examined the involvement of local authorities in this policy field, there remains a significant gap in understanding their collaboration with civil society initiatives or networks. To address this gap, the book presents a rich collection of detailed case studies, focusing on six primary groups of national and administrative traditions found in Europe: Germanic, Scandinavian, Napoleonic, Southeastern European, Central-Eastern European, and Anglo-Saxon.

Each case study provides a deep dive into the specific migration patterns, policies, and challenges faced by these regions. By examining these diverse contexts, the book sheds light on the unique dynamics and complexities of migration within Europe, highlighting both the successes and challenges encountered by different countries in managing migration.

The book's findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners alike, as they contribute to a better understanding of the multifaceted nature of European migration policy and the role of local actors in shaping its outcomes. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to explore the complex interplay between national policies, regional dynamics, and local initiatives in addressing the challenges and opportunities of migration in Europe.
