GAPs will explore the disconnects between expectations of return policies and their actual outcomes by decentering the dominant, one-sided understanding of "return policy making" by examining return infrastructures, migration diplomacy and migration trajectories with a focus on 13 countries in Europe, Africa and the broader Middle East. // Coordinators: Soner Bartholoma (Uppsala University) and Zeynep Mencütek (Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies)
Finding Agreement in Return (FAiR) // May 2023-April 2026
FAiR addresses the legitimacy deficits that plague policies on return and alternatives to return. It complements dominant rational choice perspectives by assessing the importance of norms, frames and shared meanings for intergovernmental cooperation on return, focusing on 5 non-EU+ (Georgia, Iraq, Niger, Nigeria, Turkey) and 5 EU states+ (Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, Switzerland). // Coordinator: Arjen Leerkes (Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
