“Delegating Responsibility offers an excellent account of the dynamics of migration management in Europe, showing how front-line states like Italy and Greece struggle to cope with increasing numbers of forced migrants while engaging in a delicate dance of conflict and cooperation with the EU and member states. With all of its flaws, the EU will set the pace for migration governance in Europe and beyond and Micinski provides us with key insights into this extraordinarily complex political process.”

“Delegating Responsibility shows the surprising ways that Greece, Italy, and the EU try to manage asylum seekers and other migrants. By focusing on how policies are put into action, Micinski reveals when and why states work alone, together, or hand over their obligations to international organizations.”
