This science-policy event explores the evolving phenomenon of migration externalisation in Europe and beyond, i.e. attempts by states to manage migration flows and enforce immigration policies beyond their borders. The event focuses on the pertinent types of policies, the political coalitions shaping them, and the impact of migration ‘crises’.

Based on discourse network analysis of over 7,500 statements, media content analysis, and interviews from the FRAMENET project and research in the Gambia, we examine how the EU, state and non-state actors and international organisations from the Global North and South interact to drive or contest externalisation strategies.

Key topics:

• A new typology of externalisation that blends border management, international cooperation, and internal policies.
• The role of migration crises in reshaping political alliances and strengthening pro-externalisation discourse.
• How competing actor coalitions influence migration policy outcomes.

Join us for an insightful discussion on the political dynamics behind Europe’s externalisation of migration.
