Mass migration is a complex phenomenon that presents a multitude of economic, political, social, and legal challenges. It involves a diverse range of actors, including state institutions, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, host communities, and migrants, each with their own set of power and priorities. The debate surrounding migration often revolves around the concept of a 'crisis,' with its perceived impact on the polarization of politics in Western countries. Migration has become an increasingly significant topic in shaping the present and future of our societies.

The chapters in this book address these issues in a critical and analytical manner, providing insights into a particular case while linking it to an analytical framework that explores the governance of reception policies and practices in Europe and beyond. This book will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers, and academics in the fields of Politics and International Relations.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Immigrant and Refugee Studies, a leading publication in the field of migration studies.
