Practical information
Lunch debate introduced by Christophe Bertossi (Centre Migrations et Citoyennetés de l'Ifri), Hector Cebolla Boado (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia Madrid), Danièle Joly (University of Warwick) and Johannes Knickenberg (Katholisches Forum Leben in der Illegalität).
Based on the results of a project conducted by the Center for Migrations and Citizenship (Ifri) in five European capitals on the issue of irregular migrants, this conference will reassess the limits of migratory policies in Europe, through a comparison between three very different countries with regards to immigration policies, and regularisation more specifically: the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. What issues does the presence of irregular migrants at the local level create? Is regularisation the only solution to the issue of irregular migration? How can the inconsistencies of current European policies be overcome?
This debate forms part of the "Ifri's Tuesdays in Brussels".
Participation Fee (Except members): 10€

A New Moment for Central Europe? Regional Cooperation in a Time of European Strategic Choices
Recent political developments in Central Europe have revived the debate about the future of regional cooperation and the Visegrád Group.

China’s Nuclear Buildup: Developments, Drivers, and Implications for Major-Power Relations and Arms Control

Reinventing Coordination in an Age of Fragmentation
The world economy is being reordered. The certainties of the post-Cold War era, open trade, dollar centrality, predictable multilateral coordination, are giving way to a landscape shaped by rivalry between the United States and China, the weaponization of interdependence, and a scramble to secure supply chains, technologies and critical resources. What once looked like a stable architecture now appears fragile, contested, and in places actively being dismantled.
