Abstract:Due to the current situation in the Ukraine, Germany is seeing an influx of refugees. To enable their integration, it is important to offer study opportunities to them. In the aftermath of the refugee crisis, the German Education Exchange Service cooperated with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research to develop the second package of policy measures: enabling access to study. The aim of this policy is to offer future refugees a facilitated integration in the German higher education system. These policy measures were implemented by a governance network. A case study of this network analyses the impact the shock of the refugee crisis had on the network relations and its policy goals. It shows that the network can adapt to new issues without developing new structures. To assess the success of the network’s response to the crisis, different measurements are reviewed when facing difficulties assessing quantitative measurements. At last, the influence embeddedness and bridging ties had on the network’s actions is discussed. For that Private Public Partnerships are explained as a special form of cooperation in the context of New Public Governance. For the discussion quantitative methods were used as well as qualitive textual analysis and interviews.
