Current Research

EU-level policy-making on migration and development

The main objective of my current research project is to contribute to the growing, yet understudied and scattered, body of research on the link between migration and development at European Union (EU) level.There is a discernible knowledge gap regarding the role of the EU in integrating development-related consequences into its external migration policy-making processes. The research aims to reconceptualise the relationship between migration and development in the European context.
