JUST PUBLISHED! 📚 NEW BOOK OUT

"Brussels does not normally talk about international migration as a site of power. But such has increasingly been the EU and EU member states’ approach to external migration governance"

In this interview, Gerasimos Tsourapas (University of Birmingham) and Irene Fernández-Molina (University of Exeter) discuss their latest book 'Migration power Europe: between norms and leverage in the EU's global role', recently published by the European University Institute.

The volume brings together 20 scholars across 12 chapters to explore how the EU governs human mobility through multiple forms of power, and how these different forms of power leave different traces that require different tools to identify and understand.

📣 Who is behind migration communication campaigns?

Our database, which maps more than 300 migration communication campaigns conducted across Europe between 2012 and 2025, shows that non-governmental organisations account for more than one-third of the campaigns. Campaigns are also run by a wide range of other actors, including international organisations, public authorities, and other institutions.

This diversity of actors reflects the complex communication landscape around migration and raises important questions about who communicates, which messages they promote, and which audiences they seek to reach.
But there are still campaigns missing from the picture.

We are looking to expand our database of migration communication campaigns. If you know of relevant campaigns in a country you work on or know well, share them with us.

What do border management, asylum reception, labour migration and integration have in common?

👉They all involve important trade-offs and require us to think critically about how migration policies are designed and implemented.

That’s exactly what we explore in the Effective Migration Governance training.

Join us at the European University Institute in Florence on 5–7 October 2026 for three days of peer learning, discussions on cross-cutting research, and exceptional networking opportunities with academics, civil society experts, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of migration governance.

What drives irregularity in the UK’s adult ?

Irregularity is often framed as an individual characteristic. But it can also be the result of the systems people have to navigate.

Local authorities in the UK have lost 46% of their core funding in real terms since 2010, while demand for social care continues to grow. Alongside funding cuts, fragmented commissioning and reliance on private providers have contributed to low pay, insecure work and persistent labour shortages.

Interviews conducted as part of the show how can emerge when workers become dependent on employers for visas, income, housing or even basic survival.

The key conclusion? 💡 Immigration reform alone cannot solve workforce shortages or exploitation in adult social care. A sustainable care sector and workers protection require coordinated action across labour-market enforcement, welfare provision, immigration policy and ASC funding.

While views differ between and within countries, most Europeans hold moderate, nuanced positions on immigration, distinguishing between types of it rather than adopting simple pro- or anti-immigration stances.

This is one of the main findings drawn from the study conducted by Andrew Geddes and James Dennison, which is based on large amounts of high-quality survey data spanning decades, countries, and crises, and combining insights from political science, psychology, sociology, and public policy.
