A Need for Control? Political Trust and Public Preferences for Asylum

Europeans want to protect refugees, but they prefer a policy approach that sets limits and conditions.

The Zolberg Institute welcomes Dr. Martin Ruhs, Chair in Migration Studies and Deputy Director of the Migration Policy Centre  at the European University Institute.  This discussion will provide the first-ever analysis of the structure of public preferences for asylum and refugee policy in Europe, a highly politicized policy area that has attracted little scholarly attention to date.
