third phase of the MRA (Final Research Report)

Essentially, the point is thinking about HOW TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS – (1) Identify a problem. (2) research on the issue (both why it’s a problem and if there are existing solutions to it) and (3) how, in your own view and based on the research done, the problem can be solved. This is what you have done throughout the MRA proce

MRA #3: Final Research Report
Name/Student#: Course Code:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(a) Core Problem.
The issue social issue I have investigated is migration, particularly, concerning the flow and
settlement of Syrian migrants throughout Europe. Research indicates that many Syrians are unable to
settle properly within multiple European states, including Greece. Many, at the loss of their entire life
savings, statehood, shelter, and protection now also experience further restrictions on their settlement
within Greece based on a plethora of factors; namely, the Greek state does not want Syrian migrants to
settle within its borders and has acted politically in order to limit their entry… […]
(b) Needs Modification
The reason it is pertinent to address the aforementioned issue is both that the Syrians are an
extremely vulnerable and at-risk population – as they are refugees – and also, that the Greek state is acting
unjustly towards them. Such persons have no other resource except to be forced out of Greece and have
to find a new residence within Europe. The Greek state acts to limit the flow of refugees in three ways: (1)
due to political bargaining, Greece has promised Turkey backing for it to join with EU, whilst the latter
ensures no Syrians reach Greek isles or borders; (2) Greece consciously and purposely fails to maintain the
quality of its welfare institution, thereby forcing Syrians into subpar conditions with meagre support; and
finally, (3) there is a culture of xenophobia and racism that sees Syrians as both inferior and threats, which
permit the Greek state to use its monopoly on force to violently limit their entrance. […]
(c) Recommendation for Action
In order to resolve this matter, the EU should play a greater oversight role in terms of checking
Greek behavior and policy. It should: (1) dissever the political commitment between Greek and Turkey,
thereby allowing migrants to flow freely in and out of these states; (2) Provide additional funding for
Greece to maintain and upgrade its healthcare system; and (3) limit Greek state brutality against Syrians
by putting state officers on review. […]
PART I: CONTEXT OF PROBLEM AND EXISTING SOLUTIONS
(a) Statement of Problem
The issue is one dealing with migration; specifically, the migrant flows of Syrians across Europe
and their inability to settle in places such as Greece. Specifically, the Greece state is actively trying to limit
the intake of Syrian refugees through both political and institutional channels… […]
(b) Overview of Root Causes
The issue arises based on three main factors deciphered through research: (1) due to political
bargaining, Greece has promised Turkey backing for it to join with EU; (2) Greece consciously and purposely
fails to maintain the quality of its welfare institution; and finally, (3) there is a culture of xenophobia and
racism that sees Syrians as both inferior and t
