| Abstract: | This thesis examines the perceptions of civil society actors on three aspects of their cooperation with the state of Berlin on Refugee Governance. It compares the perceptions of Trust, Interdependence, and the Process of Cooperation in the context of the 2015/16-, to that of the 2022/23 Mass Migration. Both contexts had tens of thousands of refugees enter Berlin, and Civil Society Actors played a vital role in the process surrounding their arrival and accommodation. Analyzing CSA’s statements from interviews, press-releases, news articles, and social media posts, this thesis finds that perceptions have not changed significantly, and the actors still rate it negatively. It argues that there is a difference in perceptions between different actor groups within civil society and that especially refugee-relief organizations don’t feel adequately included in the decision-making process. Berlins' chaotic administration and the state institutions' lack of willingness for meaningful cooperation are reasons for this. Still, perceptions of formal inclusion in decision-making processes and communication of interdependence by administrative actors have risen. The study shows that there is potential to improve the cooperation process to gain more positive perceptions and calls for more in-depth studies once more data is available on the recent crisis. |
