Abstract
The fire in camp Moria, located on the Greek island Lesvos, put further pressures on the already failing European asylum system. This study looks at the response of the Netherlands, which was minimal and caused significant chaos in the Dutch government as well as it was felt by the Dutch society in general. I argue that the used decision-making process was inefficient and could be improved by the adoption of the concept of compromise, a tool for long-term collective decision-making that includes reciprocity and mutual consent. The case of the fire in Moria and the Dutch response are analyzed, and as a response an alternative to the traditional form of compromise is proposed that includes a focus on relationships, acceptance of some wrongdoing, and the incorporation of a “would-be” third party. Such a party is not directly involved in the decision-making process, but highly affected by it. The limitations involve the complexity of the context and the complication of the “would-be” third party not always being a realistic option.
