This author seems to take a middle ground. He takes the issue into account, and then looks at the short and long term effects of what would happen if these "solutions" are implemented; and what is realistically possible.

I did not know this. On top of the neighboring countries being flooded by Syrian refugees, they just had a similar issue when Iraqi refugees were displaced between 2006 and 2009.

Incredible the discrepancies between countries. The sheer number of refugees into neighboring countries instead of the EU. Also all of the information is backed by credible websites.

The man Philippe Fargues speaks on behalf of the migration policies of the eu as listed later in this article. It seems he is also speaking partly on the behalf of the European University Institute which implies more of an academic motive; and therefore stakeholder. His authority is that he works on migration policy. His goal is that he recognizes the problem, and tries to propose a solution through the analyzing of data from credible sources.

Fargues. Philippe. "Europe Must Take on its Share of the Syrian Refugee Burden, but How?" Migration Policy Centre February 2014. Web. 11 October. 2016.

This is the central claim of the paper. Refugees are flooding into Europe and other middle eastern countries, but Europe is not taking in a fair share. Millions of people are attempting to enter the continent, and Syria's neighboring countries cannot take in much more than they already have. So the question arises, "Europe Must Take on its Share of the Syrian Refugee Burden, but How?"
