Blog: Funding the New Pact on Migration and Asylum: Symbolic Politics or Structural Shifts in the Policies’ Implementation Design?

Lilian Tsourdi has published a blog on ‘Funding the New Pact on Migration and Asylum: Symbolic Politics or Structural Shifts in the Policies’ Implementation Design?’. In her contribution, Lilian, first provides a brief critical overview of the funding component of the EU’s migration policies prior to the Pact. Next, she analyses the main elements of the current MFF 2021-2027 that frame the funding component of the EU’s migration policies. This is followed by a scrutiny of two key developments under the New Pact: i) an innovative approach to boosting migration implementation capacities, which is, however, based on a conception of solidarity as counterweight to migration pressures, and, ii) border processing as a potential blueprint for structural forms of EU migration funding. On this basis, she concludes on the interplay between funding and implementation under the New Pact.
