Cooperation or externalization?

In the past years, the EU has increasingly externalised the implementation of its migration policy to third countries through a number of agreements and funding mechanisms. The migration agenda increasingly shapes the EU’s foreign policy and development cooperation. In this discussion the panellists will share their insights on latest developments from a legal, policy and field perspective and assess if and how the New Pact on Migration and Asylum can offer a way forward.

 

This webinar will take place on Friday June 4, from 11 am to 12:30 pm
