  • Coping with the refugee and migrant crisis in Slovenia : the role of the military
    Garb, Maja
    Approximately 470,000 refugees and migrants passed through Slovenian territory between September 2015 and March 2016, creating a crisis that required a great deal of organisational and field work on ... the part of many governmental and non- governmental institutions. In the social sciences, a discourse on "security versus humanitarian approach" on the refugees and migrant issue appeared; however, the article goes over such a discourse and deals with roles and problems of different institutions - mostly the military - that responded to the crisis. Namely, coping with the crisis was characterised by significant institutional adjustments, difficult coordination, and intense public debate. The Slovenian Armed Forces were included in this process as support for Civil Protection and Police. The military's role followed the military missions defined by the Defence Act; however, the government also proposed some changes to the act that were met with some doubts on the part of the public and different institutions.
