Routes in Flux: is EU migration policy working?

Falling arrivals, shifting routes, and the EU’s new migration strategy

The new paper “Routes in flux: is EU migration policy working?” by our partner Mixed Migration Centre provides an up to date analysis of migration dynamics in Europe against the backdrop of recent policy developments. It examines how arrival numbers and migration routes have evolved in recent years and to what extent European measures have shaped these trends. The report outlines key findings on emerging patterns, governance instruments, and structural challenges, offering an evidence based for assessing the effectiveness of EU migration policy.
