Summary:

During the refugee crisis of 2015, about 1.5 million refugees entered the European Union. LUDGER PRIES examined how it was possible that this massive inflow of people was managed relatively successfully. In particular, he researched how different actor groups, from volunteers and leftist activists to the police, worked closely together. Employing an organizational network analysis in five Mediterranean countries, as he describes in this video, his research group added to existing studies a view that shows how different actors in the refugee crisis were intertwined on the level of organizations. Interestingly, they found that these networks were very heterogeneous and not homogeneous as is commonly assumed in organizational networks. This can be explained by the special context of refugee protection.
