Abstract: This empirical study addresses the question of the emergent adaptation processes of the pro‐migrant NGO sector in Britain in response to the advancing Europeanization of immigration policy. Our findings show European‐level engagement by some key pioneer non‐governmental organizations (NGOs), who have importantly built pathways and linkages to politics beyond the nation‐state, as well as participating in the European arena through interaction within a new transnational organization, the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE). Influence at the European level remains limited, however, largely due to the continued dominance of the restrictive nation‐state policy imperatives.
