  • eu Migration Policy in the wake of the arab spring what prospects for eu southern mediterranean relations
    2012
    Co-Authors: Sergio Carrera, Leonhard Den Hertog, Joanna Parkin
    Abstract:

    The outbreak of the Arab Spring and the unrest, revolution and war that followed during the course of 2011 have forced the EU to acknowledge the need to radically re-think its Policy approach towards the Southern Mediterranean, including in the domain of Migration. Migration and mobility now feature as key components of High Representative Catherine Ashton’s new framework for cooperation with the region (Partnership for Democracy and Shared Prosperity), while the EU has declared its intention to strengthen its external Migration Policy by setting up “mutually beneficial” partnerships with third countries – so-called ‘Dialogues for Migration, Mobility and Security’ – now placed at the centre of the EU’s renewed Global Approach to Migration and Mobility (GAMM). However, the success of this approach and its potential to establish genuine cooperative partnerships that will support smooth economic and political transformation in North Africa hinge on the working arrangements and institutional configurations shaping the renewed GAMM at EU level which has long been marked by internal fragmentation, a lack of transparency and a predominance of home affairs and security actors. This paper investigates the development of the Dialogues for Migration, Mobility and Security with the Southern Mediterranean in a post-Lisbon Treaty institutional setting. It asks to what extent has the application of the Lisbon Treaty and the creation of an “EU Foreign Minister” in High Representative Ashton, supported by a European External Action Service (EEAS), remedied or re-invigorated the ideological and institutional struggles around the implementation of the Global Approach? Who are the principal agents shaping and driving the Dialogues for Migration, Mobility and Security? Who goes abroad to speak on the behalf of the EU in these Dialogues and what impact does this have on the effectiveness, legitimacy and accountability of the Dialogues under the renewed GAMM as well as the wider prospects for the Southern Mediterranean?

  • Migration outflows and optimal Migration Policy: rules versus discretion
    Portuguese Economic Journal, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ismael Issifou, Francesco Magris
    Abstract:

    We study the effects of more open borders on return Migration and show that migrants are more likely to return to the origin country when Migration rules are softened, because this implies that they could more easily re-migrate if return Migration is unsuccessful. As a result, softening Migration rules leads to lower net inflows than is generally acknowledged. We show that if government follows rules to shape the optimal Migration Policy, it will choose more open “borders” than were its behaviour to be discretionary. However, this requires an appropriate commitment technology. We show that electoral accountability may be a solution to the commitment problem. As a matter of fact, observed softer imMigration rules in western countries suggest the effectiveness of such a mechanism.

  • Migration Policy from the European Perspective: A Primer for Forecasters
    International Migration and the Future of Populations and Labour in Europe, 2012
    Co-Authors: Anna Kicinger
    Abstract:

    In this chapter a general outline of the development of the Migration policies in European countries is presented. It contains a historical sketch of the policies and the status quo for 2002, supplemented with some expectations of their evolution after 2002. The rationale behind the incorporation of Migration Policy analysis in the demographic prognoses lies in its role in shaping the Migration flows. Since the particular interest of this book lies in the impact Migration might have on the demography of the sending and receiving countries, the aspects of Migration Policy influencing long-term Migration are highlighted.

  • Beyond the Focus on Europeanisation: Polish Migration Policy 1989–2004
    Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2008
    Co-Authors: Anna Kicinger
    Abstract:

    In this article I analyse Polish Migration Policy development after 1989, with the aim of contributing to developing research on Migration policies in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. Starting from the early stages of Migration Policy formulation at the beginning of the 1990s, the article first provides a brief overview of EU-driven Policy developments, and then goes beyond the prevailing focus on Europeanisation in Migration Policy and points to other issues of importance for Polish Migration Policy analysis. These include Poland's visa Policy towards its Eastern neighbours, its Policy of silent tolerance of the irregular employment of foreigners in Poland, and issues of repatriation and eMigration.

  • Migration Policy IN THE EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE - DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE TRENDS
    2004
    Co-Authors: Anna Kicinger, Katarzyna Saczuk
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a general outline of the development of the Migration policies in Europe countries, focusing on a historic sketch of the policies, their current development stage, as well as some predictions of their evolution in the foreseeable future. components. The main emphasis is put on the imMigration control Policy i.e. rules and procedures governing the selection and admission of the foreign citizens, especially with regard to the long-term Migration, as it influences the demographic structures of both sending and receiving countries. Subsequent sections of this paper are devoted to the most important international conventions and treaties dealing with Migration issues (a legal framework of Migration Policy development), followed by an overview of the Policy measures in both the 'old' EU-15 and the Central and Eastern Europe. The Migration policies in selected European countries is presented in details.
