Project description
In search for better migration policy models
EU efforts to handle migration are closely linked to the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NYD) signed by 193 UN member states in 2016 and to the 2015 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, an improved migration policy model is needed to effectively face gaps between principles and acts, and ameliorate poor migration governance using NYD and SDGs as guides. The EU-funded ADMIGOV project will investigate how existing migration policies work. It will relate its results to NYD and SDGs. Several case studies will be analysed including that of the Greek islands, Lebanon and Turkey. The project will also benefit from access to the data gathered by the Danish Refugee Council.
Objective
ADMIGOV aims to promote an alternative migration governance model. ADMIGOV takes seriously the principles laid out in the New York Declaration (NYD) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to study how alternative approaches to migration governance can be better designed and put into practice. However, rather than proposing a top-down study of existing migration policies, ADMIGOV studies the reality of existing polices and practices on the ground to improve migration governance in line with the principles set out in the NYD and SDGs. This is the unique analytical feature of ADMIGOV. We bring together analyses of migration governance in practice and in key times and spaces and relate these analyses to the key structuring principles of migration governance as laid out in the NYD and SDGs. This is done to better understand the current gaps between principles and practices and in order to provide insights and recommendations for migration governance in the future. ADMIGOV is methodologically unique. We bring analyses from along the migration ‘chain’, from entry through to exit and incorporating key issues such as labour migration, protection needs and development goals. ADMIGOV has chosen several case studies of key times and spaces in migration governance, including the Greek islands, Lebanon, and Turkey, to better understand the most important and most problematic processes at play. Additionally, through the involvement of the Danish Refugee Council, ADMIGOV has access to possibly the largest dataset on migrants on the move today. The 4Mi data of the Danish Refugee Council will give ADMIGOV access to and help us generate more data than a single research team could normally collect. In short, ADMIGOV is designed to combine the analyses of existing policies and practices on the ground in key times and spaces with the wide-ranging 4Mi data to generate new indicators of good migration governance, helping the EU put the NYD and SDGs into practice.
