| Summary: | Clara van den Berg examines the lasting impacts of the 2015/16 pro-refugee mobilization in Germany, where over a million asylum seekers arrived and millions of volunteers provided support. Focusing on the evolution of civic action communities, the book explores the decline in volunteer activities, the role of local brokers, and factors influencing the sustainability of pro-refugee networks. Using case studies from German cities, van den Berg investigates how resources, strategies, and social capital shaped community building and cooperation among diverse actors. This research contributes to civil society literature by analyzing the long-term effects of mobilization on social structures and connections. Intended for academics, policymakers, and social scientists, the book provides insights into civic engagement, migration, and community resilience. |
