The diplomacy of immigration: migration issues in transnational relations

Objectif

Europe is an immigration continent yet it still needs to develop migration and ethnic studies. Virginie Guiraudon proposes to come to the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy to teach and supervise junior researchers from the EU and beyond about migration, the integration of migrants in host societies, the impact of migration, immigration policies and related issues such as citizenship and nationhood in multicultural societies. In addition to training EUI Ph.D. students, she will organise workshops and summer schools open to participants beyond the EUI. She will also collaborate on research projects managed by the EUI Robert Schuman Center (e. g. on the impact of migration in sending countries). While at the EUI, she will study the role of the immigration issue in the diplomacy of the European Union (EU). Since the 1999 Tampere summit, a common immigration policy is a EU priority. Originally a prerogative of Interior and Justice ministries, the control of immigration into the EU is an objective that pervades EU policy areas such as aid to development, external trade, and enlargement. The issue of immigration has become integrated in the external relations of the EU. First, she will examine EU policies that seek to prevent migration at the source focusing on initiatives concerning countries South of the Mediterranean. The goal is to understand how norms and practices regarding the management of migration flows are elaborated, diffused or imposed on states. Her research design will confront rational and constructivist perspectives; she will compare EU-led processes with other multilateral initiatives and study the implementation and impact of initiatives in several Southern Mediterranean countries. She will study the role of immigration in transatlantic relations, especially on post-9/11 cooperation between the EU and the United States, especially on negotiations regarding airline passenger information, biometrics in visas and passports.
