What can be considered as a crisis, and what are the lessons learned from the last years? Who are engaged with the local, national and supranational decisions on migration management and what are limitations thereof? This book provides an extended overview of several legal, social, political, and economic aspects considered as a migration crisis. By reflecting on the root causes of current mobilities, the limitations of legal frameworks, the role of humanitarian agencies and law enforcement practices, this editorial volume provides an in-depth understanding into the role of different actors in this field, and the unintended consequences of EU and local policies in and outside the EU borders. Written by experts from different disciplines, this book provides a road map to those who would like to learn more about the social, economic, and legal interrelations of the EU migration management strategies, and the local implications of top-down decisions in sending, transit, and host countries. The authors provide a perceptive analyses on current issues in Turkey, Greece, Slovenia, Albania, Sweden, the Netherlands, and other countries to illustrate the challenges and complexity of current global mobility patterns on different scales.
