ABSTRACT

Chapter 10 builds solid links between models and categorizations developed in Chapter 3 and the empirical data presented in the case study chapters from 4 to 9. To do so, the chapter is divided into three sections. The first section maps the dominant actors shaping refugee governance in the cases with reference to the meta-governance framework. The second section elaborates on the testing of the multi-pattern and multi-stage governance models in comparison. The third section examines the similarities and differences in policy fields: border controls, reception/protection and integration by highlighting patterns and stages. The following section compares the drivers of policies with an emphasis on the identification and analysis of the weight of each factor. Thus, it recaps both chapters comparatively. It finalizes with pointing out issues for future research.
