Set against a review of Australia’s recent policy past, including an enduring deterrence-based asylum policy and politicised resettlement cap and ongoing challenges for refugee family reunification, we map the political and policy changes that have led to the opening of a policy window for a suite of complementary pathways to be conceived, designed, and delivered in Australia. We also trace the actions of Australian policy entrepreneurs who have worked to develop complementary pathways that creatively meet the ever-expanding need for durable solutions, as envisaged in the 2018 Global Compact on Refugees and strategically set out in UNHCR’s the Third Country Solutions for Refugees: 2030 Roadmap . With community, private sector, and civil society groups bringing underutilised resources to help Australia meet the need for more pathways to long-term safety for refugees, we argue that narratives around refugee resettlement, as well as Australia’s contribution to international protection, are at a crossroad. We will outline each complementary pathway initiative, with reference to comparative models overseas, before ending with discussion of the need for a coherent programme of complementary pathways, each with clear policy objectives and key principles and a strengthened commitment to retaining the integrity of Australia’s commitment to global resettlement efforts.","PeriodicalId":45345,"journal":{"name":"Migration Letters","volume":"26 4","pages":"2219-2240"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12134-025-01281-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147903799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CSBC is a new sponsorship model which operates through a strong partnership between regional and local authorities, civil society organisations and volunteers within local communities. This paper offers insight into the design and functioning of the CSBC and how its approach facilitates or hinders sponsored refugees’ autonomy in their settlement processes, ultimately aiming to facilitate their integration into their new communities. Based on qualitative data collected from two evaluations conducted in 2021 and 2022, the analysis involved combining two theoretical frameworks. The first, refugee-integration-opportunity structures, examines autonomy and integration through locality, relations, structure, support initiatives, and discourse. The second framework comprises 15 assessment points used to measure the effectiveness of private sponsorship. Findings show that the CSBC enhanced refugees’ access to services, training, education and social networks, strengthening their autonomy. To maximise future impact, regional disparities must be addressed, volunteer profiles diversified, cultural training expanded and the CSBC should complement rather than replace Spain’s refugee quota.","PeriodicalId":45345,"journal":{"name":"Migration Letters","volume":"26 4","pages":"2125-2147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12134-025-01275-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the face of existing ineffective and insufficient refugee reception and integration systems, and the tension between more unfavourable general attitudes and restrictive refugee policies on the one hand, and calls for more humanitarian and engaged approaches simultaneously articulated in some segments in receiving societies on the other hand, the need for new tools has become even more acute. States and international institutions are looking for new measures and solutions pressured by civil society actors. Among different approaches, those related to community sponsorship (CS) developed in Canada since the 1970s have become particularly important, which reflects an emerging trend towards more welfare pluralism in receiving and supporting refugees. Drawing on the citizen hosting movement, these initiatives utilise and generate civil society engagement and can increase societies’ acceptance of refugees’ admission and support. This paper outlines the development of CS programmes in Europe. Three waves of development of these programmes can be observed following the refugee crisis associated with the Arab Spring in the mid-2010s, the takeover of power by the Taliban in Afghanistan, and the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine after 24 February 2022. We will explain where such programmes are established (and where they are not) and what factors influence this, including the role of policy windows, policy transfer, policy entrepreneurs, social policy models implemented in the countries in question, and political parties. The theoretical underpinning of the study is the multiple streams theory combined with the policy transfer theory and historical institutionalism.","PeriodicalId":45345,"journal":{"name":"Migration Letters","volume":"26 4","pages":"2071-2105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12134-025-01273-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147898991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
