2020 (English)In: Local Integration of Migrants Policy: European Experiences and Challenges / [ed] Franzke, Jochen and José M. Ruano de la Fuente, Palgrave Macmillan, 2020, p. 11-34Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Swedish migration policy has undergone dramatic changes and has moved from being one of the most generous policies to the minimum EU level. Traditionally refugee reception has been a policy area with a strong tradition of collaboration between national and local government with decentralized decision-making. The role of local government has, however, altered in the face of greater centralization and harder national government steering. This chapter provides a broad picture of Swedish local government’s responsibilities, the changing nature of the role it has played and is playing with regard to refugee reception and integration policies and the challenges it currently faces.
