Protection Regimes – a Critical Analysis

Veronica Federico - University of Florence | Sabine Hess - Göttingen Universiy

The expression ‘refugee protection regime’ is frequently used to indicate both the national and international system of principles, legal norms, administrative procedures and practical processes that should guarantee protection for those who, forcibly removed from their country of origin, seek (and sometimes manage) to obtain protection as asylum applicants first, and as refugees, beneficiaries of subsidiary protection or national forms of temporary protection once their application has been successful. More than 20 million entries can be retrieved when searching online for ‘refugee protection regime’, more than six million when searching for ‘international protection regime’. The very same expressions have been widely used in RESPOND…

It investigates how major political actors have framed Europeanisation and constructed political claims to justify and legitimise policy decisions. Moreover, it assesses how these claims have circulated in the mass media.

Refugee Protection Regimes: Comparative Report

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

This comparative report is based on the RESPOND country reports [deliverable D3.1] that discusses the developments regarding legislation, policy measures and practices on refugee protection, but most importantly the implementation aspect in ten countries covered by the project (Austria, Germany, Greece, Iraq, Italy, Lebanon, Poland, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom) for the 2011-2019 period. This report aims to provide a comparative analysis of refugee protection, emphasising the implementation aspect as drawn from the experiences and perceptions of meso and micro level actors. In doing so, the report offers analytical insights for evaluating the implications of the dynamics of refugee protection, which has undergone many changes since 2011.

Integration Policies, Practices & Experiences: ITALY Country Report

Renato Ibrido, Claudia Marchese | University of Florence

The Italian case is characterised by a considerable delay in the development of a model of integration. Indeed, with a long tradition as a country of emigration, Italy has been culturally less well equipped to face the challenges of a multicultural society. Moreover, the country’s geographical position – which impedes an efficient control of the borders – has incentivised policies to contain the arrivals rather than to promote integration.

Reception Policies, Practices & Responses: Comparative Reception Policy Typology

Alexander K. Nagel - Göttingen University | Prof. Ayhan Kaya - Bilgi University

In this comparative report we develop a typology of reception governance, which allows for a country comparative perspective on reception measures for refugees. The term “reception governance” is to comprise both reception policies (i.e. a system of principles to guide decisions), decision-making and actual practices. The main rationale for the construction of the typology is that reception governance does not constitute a policy field or domain…
