Book The Migrant Crisis

Download or read book The Migrant Crisis written by Melani Barlai and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2017 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time migration to Europe has been a subordinate issue on the public agenda. But with the recent wave of refugees from Arab and African countries, the question of how the EU, national governments and societies are able to cope with the arrival of millions of migrants, has become a core theme of public discourse. This volume displays the debates for the countries which are on the migration routes or which are among the most desired targets, hence are the most affected. The book thus attempts to give a broader European perspective on the migrant crisis and its public repercussions.
