Vol. 62 No. 2 (2023): Quarterly on Refugee Problems - AWR Bulletin (QRP)

This issue analyses from a retrospective view which factors influenced Syrian refugees’ decision-making in the context of forced migration and flight. Another contribution explores the religiosity of Muslim refugees in Germany as a potential resource for social work interventions. The Anogeia Reception Centre for Minor Asylum Seekers, Greece's first reception centre for unaccompanied minors, is introduced as an example of best practice from the perspective of critical social work. A second practitioner report sheds light on how a platform provided by asylum seeker-led organizations in Hong Kong was used to cope with challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last but not least, very recent developments on the universal and European level are looked upon with respect to UNHCR's freshly published Global Trends report as well as the latest dynamics on the reform of the European Union's migration and asylum policies.
