The New Pact on Migration and Asylum: Unpacking the EU’s Search for Coherence, Efficiency and Solidarity

The long awaited New Pact on Migration and Asylum was recently approved. It was promoted as a milestone achievement in the EUs long search for a common and more coherent migration policy, and as striking a balance between efficiency and solidarity. But, what is behind these buzzwords: policy coherence, efficiency and solidarity and what do they mean in practice?In this breakfast seminar, findings from the MIGNEX project on the EU’s approach to achieving policy coherence in the field of migration were presented. It was shed light on how the push for more efficient policies, including measures for return and readmission, have shaped this policy making over the years.SpeakersMaria Gabrielsen Jumbert, Senior Researcher at PRIONiels Ike, Researcher at UNU-MERIT & Leiden UniversityAyse Bala Akal, Research Assistant at PRIOJon Ole Martinsen, Senior Adviser at NOASThe conversation will be moderated by Jørgen Carling, Research Professor at PRIO and MIGNEX Project Leader.
