Based on the meta-analysis of thematic country and comparative reports produced in the EU Horizon 2020 RESPOND project, this report seeks to revisit multilevel governance as a theoretical framework in comparative migration research.

Ela Gökalp Aras, Zeynep Şahin Mencütek - Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul | Evangelia Papatzani, Nadina Leivaditi, Electra Petracou - University of the Aegean
