Our Mission

As migration and the questions surrounding the movement of people changes over time the dialogue between countries of the Mediterranean regarding these topics is in a constant state of flux. Much of it has been formed by neo-colonial approaches in border externalization and so-called “development aid”. Since the early 2000s, the European Union has successively advanced its migration and border politics on the African continent. Numerous bilateral agreements have been concluded between individual countries, and the EU participates in regional dialogues to harmonize migration policy approaches.
