The economic, social, cultural, moral and political impact that the refugees’ phenomenon has had on all the scales of the European integration, from the local to the supranational, makes it a pressing matter for the future of democracy in Europe. The book provides a myriad of critical evidence-based expert views combining philosophical, legal, economic and political reflections on how to better understand and deal with the refugees’ case in the future.
