Recent large-scale refugee movements into Europe have triggered a fundamental re-evaluation of the continent's response to migration. As Europe grapples with the past experiences, expectations, limitations and opportunities of migration, public debates continue to be marred by controversy. This collection of essays attempts to take stock of how progressive political parties in Europe have responded to these challenges and offers fascinating insights into a debate that is as difficult as it is important.
