SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The so-called 'refugee crisis' represents one of the biggest contemporary political and social challenges. Although many African countries have been dealing with forced migratory and refugee movements for decades, their experiences have so far largely been neglected in the predominantly Eurocentric public debate. The present volume aims to bridge this gap by providing comparative African and European perspectives from different disciplines, highlighting the challenges but also potential mutual benefits of social diversification, and offering an insight into possible solution strategies. Contents Migration and Social Rights in a Globalized Society Migration Governance between Treating Symptoms and Combating Causes Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of political science, law, anthropology Practitioners in NGOs and public administration, policy makers The Editors Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Wacker holds the Chair of Sociology of Diversity at the Technical University of Munich and is Max Planck Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy. Prof. Dr. Ulrich Becker, LL. M. (EHI), is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy, Munich. Katharina Crepaz, Ph. D., is a post-doctoral research associate at the Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy and at the Chair of Sociology of Diversity, Technical University of Munich.--
