Cooperation on Migration and the Revised European Neighbourhood Policy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Revised European Neighbourhood Policy

Abstract

The chapter explores the types of change that occurred in the external dimension of the European migration policy in the aftermath of the Arab Spring and in the run up to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in early 2014. It analyses the various migration policy tools used in cooperation with the EU’s eastern and southern neighbours before the overhaul of the ENP in 2010–2011. The chapter presents the changes that have occurred, focusing especially on mobility partnerships as a comprehensive tool of the Global Approach to Migration. It concludes by arguing that the revised ENP has promoted the same policy tools in a slightly changed form in order to adapt them to the partners’ needs, differentiating between the eastern and the southern neighbourhood.
