This chapter contributes to the ex-post dialogue on the migration crisis of 2015–2016, providing an examination and elaboration of the coping strategies of Slovene government. With the case study research method, paper findings are advocating that policymaking and decision-making focused mainly on the border management and other needed logistics. Slovenia became a transit state on the migration route, and was consequently heavily challenged, due to crisis magnitude, EU and Schengen zone membership, EU policymaking inactivity and inconsistency, and not to be neglected, the state size. Such challenges imposed some problems in multilevel governance and are advocating for more holistic crisis management approach. This chapter also has practical implications for the improvement in crisis management of small states, notwithstanding the fact we are still missing examinations and elaborations of the migration crisis effects, specifically from the perspectives of the most heavily challenged EU states. |
