This article attempts to provide some common ground on what has become a highly polarized debate by offering information on migration in general, and Germany and Europe in particular.

To gain a better understanding of the developments, facts, data and policies from the global, European and German context on resettlement, maritime migration and navy operations, as well as on border management and perceived terror risks are referred to. In addition, the introduction of new German laws and regulations are discussed, as well as and whether the latest influx of migrants and asylum seekers is a chance or rather an excessive burden for society. In the final parts of the paper, an outlook is provided.}, journal = {S&F Sicherheit und Frieden}, pages = {1--19}, author = {Schneider, Patricia}, volume = {34}, number = {1} }
