For this task, we will examine the evolution of the EU’s approach to global migration and crisis response. We will analyse initiatives of the EU and of Member States, alongside various policy and legal documents defining external migration policy. We will pay special attention to ad hoc coalitions like the African Union – European Union – United Nations Task Force, the Khartoum Process, the Bali Process, or the coalition that led to the adoption of the Global Compact on Migration, the implementation of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. This task will result in a data upload to the dataset. We will also draw upon the European, global and transatlantic surveys to map perceptions of European influence on global migration arrangements vis-à-vis strategic partners, especially countries of origin and transit of migration flows, and key powers such as China, Russia and the US. We will also consider how the EU is able to wield influence in its key neighbourhoods in the East and South. The task will result in a paper at the Council for European Studies annual conference, and the final version will be submitted as an academic article to European Foreign Affairs Review.
