DAFF 25A04 - Migration Policies in Europe

What goals are European migration policies aiming to accomplish? This seminar will examine the challenges European policymakers are tackling, including reducing irregular migration, improving migrant return processes, strengthening asylum systems, addressing labor market demands, and harnessing migration's potential for development. We will look at the diverse actors influencing these agendas and how EU and Member State policies are interconnected. The course will also explore the impacts of European policies on migrants, host communities, and the countries of origin and transit.
