Joseph Trawicki Anderson presentes research on how the EU, in response to growing concerns over migration across the Mediterranean from North Africa, has sought to manage migration to Europe through various development and security interventions in Africa.
The seminar examined the outsourcing of migration management to external actors and the challenges and opportunities that arise when economic development and migration control are intertwined. The event provided a platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange insights and discuss the future of EU migration policy as the EUTF nears its conclusion in 2025.
The seminar was conducted in English.
Participants:
- Joseph Trawicki Anderson, researcher at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg
- Jesper Bjarnesen, Senior Researcher at the Nordic Africa Institute
- Göran Holmqvist, Dr. in in Peace and Development and former Director of the Department for Asia, Middle East and Humanitarian Assistance, Sida.
Moderator: Anders Bjers, Communications Strategist at the Swedish Research Council
The research project presented at the seminar is funded by the Swedish Research Council, which, on behalf of the Swedish government, has been running a ten-year national research program within migration and integration since 2017. In addition to strengthening research in this area, the program aims to make the research accessible outside the academic community.
Delmi Policy Brief 2024:15, which summarizes the most important policy-relevant conclusions from the project, is available from November 13, 2024, digitally for download via the Delmi website and for order (free of charge). As usual in Delmi publications, the author is responsible for the content, conclusions, and policy recommendations in the text.
