Since 2015, migration issues have been at the center of European debates and have been worsening divergences of opinion and tensions among Member States of the European Union (EU). The building of common asylum and immigration policies since 1999 has not prevented a series of crises on topics such as irregular arrivals on European shores, search and rescue at sea, dispersal of asylum seekers or the management of internal and external EU borders. These crises highlight the deadlocks of the EU construction process and question European solidarity. Because of institutional deadlocks, the core of EU immigration and asylum policies is shifting outside EU borders with a series of agreements with third countries (Turkey, Morocco, Libya, Niger…). While outsourcing the management of migration flows to these countries, this policy is impacting other regional migration dynamics such as in the sub-Saharan area.

While public opinion and European governments usually present migrants as an outside threat for European societies, in this article, Danièle Joly and Khursheed Wadia focus on the local level to analyze the issue of migrants, in particular irregular workers, living in the UK.
This article endeavours to take stock of the progress made thus far in shaping Europe's response to the contemptible practice of traffficking in human beings and to highlight the objectives for the future. Trafficking in human beings is both a grave violation of human rights and a serious...
Immigration was a key priority of the French EU Presidency in 2008.
With the installation of new migrants, and as new expressions of identity and citizenship have been lately emerging, European countries have adopted quite diverse integration policies. This essay proposes both an analysis and an interpretation of this complex phenomenon.
