Images of Syrian children sleeping in the streets of Brussels and Belgrade illustrate the complete chaos and inhumane conditions at refugee and reception centers throughout the capital cities of Europe. It begs the question of whether Europe is, indeed, facing a ‘refugee crisis’. Rather, it appears that Europe faces a migration and refugees ‘management crisis’.
