10/10/2008 Christophe Bertossi, Politique étrangère, World Policy Conference 2008 (hors-série). "We are concerned here with what makes the political problem of the politics and policies of international migration today. Our aim is to identify some of the major blind spots in migration policies the way they are in general. This broad approach makes it possible to identify the most critical shortcomings of migration policies."

Résumé

One country declares a state of emergency because of the presence of undocumented immigrants in its territorial waters. Another dispatches asylum seekers to offshore islands in foreign jurisdictions before considering their applications. Genetic testing is seen as a proper tool for coping with possible abuses of family reunification laws. To paraphrase Shakespeare, there are serious problems in the "kingdom" of international migration and migration policies.

Christophe Bertossi is Senior Research Fellow (Ifri), and Head of the research program "Migrations, Identities, Citizenship."
