Summary
Projects should contribute to the following expected outcomes:
- Support EU migration governance by assessing barriers and enablers of its return and readmission policy, and notably as regards obstacles to readmission in the countries of origin.
- Suggest avenues for international cooperation on migration between the EU, its Member States and countries of origin and transit of migrants.
- Consider alternatives to returning migrants to countries of origin.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should consider negotiations between the EU and countries of origin and transit, and analyse the barriers and enablers to successful agreements. Τhey should also analyse the role played by diaspora groups in shaping the positions of their countries of origin, as well as the role played by the local civil society in this process; primary and participatory research could be relevant in this regard. Proposals should analyse the political construction of discourses on return in non-EU countries, and consider the way these impact on the positions of their governments. These analyses should shed light on the interdependencies between the different policy domains that are increasingly integrated in return and readmission policy, such as, but not limited to, development and trade. To this end, international cooperation is strongly advised, in particular with countries in Africa, and/or Asia, and/or the Middle East.
Proposals should also consider if and how return and readmission policies uphold the rights of migrants or contribute to the downgrading of their living conditions.
Research should consider to what extent public attitudes to migration in Europe are susceptible to change in relation to success or failure in return and readmission policies.
