EMN Inform: Migration diplomacy: An analysis of policy approaches and instruments ,
This EMN-OECD inform explores the theme of migration diplomacy, focusing on the use of diplomatic tools, processes and procedures with third countries to manage international migration. It analyses the policy approaches and instruments in migration diplomacy efforts applied by EMN Member and Observer Countries, as well as selected examples from OECD countries outside the EU.
Migration diplomacy has emerged as a crucial component of international migration policy among EMN Member and Observer Countries. Seventeen of these countries integrate it into their migration affairs, whilst six others report limited engagement in migration diplomacy, largely due to their strategic alignment with the European Union’s initiatives, as well as limited national resources. For these countries, participating in EU-level migration diplomacy initiatives offers a more practical approach to international migration affairs than pursuing independent bilateral agreements.
The Inform presents insights on policy effectiveness while identifying areas for improvement, offering a view of both the successes and challenges in managing migration on an international scale.
