- Abstract
- Refugee private sponsorship is emblematic of asylum governance’s evolution towards a greater involvement of private actors. Domestic factors explain the emergence of private sponsorship schemes in Europe; the peculiarity of the Common European Asylum System, migrant death toll in the Mediterranean, the rise of resettlement and the institutional crisis which followed the increase in refugee and other migrants’ arrivals in the years 2014-2016. Private sponsorship is currently one of the few examples of the opening of safe and legal pathways for refugee protection and it offers remarkable insights into the European “asylum crisis” of the past years.
