Migration and Europe
1 articleMigration and Europe serves as the umbrella for reporting on Mediterranean migration, asylum policy, labor migration and migrant smuggling. Coverage follows Mediterranean and Atlantic routes, asylum and border rules, labor mobility, EU agreements and smuggling networks, connecting policy, enforcement, legal constraints and economic incentives to changing patterns of movement and bilateral bargaining. The scope is migration and mobility rather than Europe policy in general, with diplomacy, security or labor-market material included when it changes routes, border governance, asylum, returns or cross-border movement.
