Publication

This publication reflects on migration cooperation between the EU and North African states. More specifically, it examines 1) the evolving significance of migration in the EU’s relations with North Africa; 2) how Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia responded to EU requests to establish regional disembarkation platforms in their territory; 3) other tools the EU is likely to implement instead, as the text's authors argue that the disembarkation platforms appear to be a non-starter, and 4) how the EU and its North African partners can agree to and develop areas of shared strategic interest.
