This book examines local migration policy in Sweden in light of the European migrant crisis. The novel approach of this volume covers both local governments policies on admission of immigrants and their efforts for enhancing social integration. The focus is on the division of responsibilities between political levels, examined through theories encompassing both governance structures and output and outcomes of policy. Sweden is a rare example where migration policy has undergone massive changes in the last decade. During the crisis, the country received some of the largest flows of immigrants in relation to its population compared with other European countries. Drawing from statistical material, case studies and a rich body of interviews, this innovative work provides a valuable resource that aspires to investigate the significance of the local level of government in migration policy. The objective is to reach general conclusions that go beyond the realms of the empirical focus. Gustav Liden is Associate Professor of Political Science at Mid Sweden University, Sweden. Jon Nyhlen is Senior Lecturer of Political Science at Stockholm University, Sweden.
