First of all, we are thankful to the authors who contributed with their research and who cooperated with us in a very produc- tive way. Even though the case studies in this volume were individually conceptual- ized and implemented, the authors did not work in isolation. Our main platform for communication about the book’s concept and the ongoing case studies was the IMISCOE network, notably our standing committee RELOCAL, which brings together researchers from various disciplines and countries who are interested in looking at how asylum, reception and integration processes are debated and enacted on the local level. Our collaboration was subsidized by the IMISCOE network. As a result, many authors had the opportunity to present and discuss their work at a RELOCAL meeting in Amsterdam in March 2016, and during IMISCOE’s annual conferences in Prague (June 2016) and Rotterdam (June 2017). We would like to express our gratitude to the members of the IMISCOE Editorial Committee for enthusiastically supporting our project, and to the two anonymous reviewers who provided us with many valuable comments that helped to strengthen the focus of the book and the interconnections of its parts. Additionally, the production costs of this volume have been partly sponsored by the IMISCOE budget for our Standing Committee, which we appreciate very much. Finally, we would like to thank our language editor Richard Thrift for linguistic fine-tuning, and Bernadette Deelen-Mans from Springer who made great efforts to get the book ready for publication.
