The Formulation of the EU’s Approach to Circular Migration
Keyword(s):
AbstractThis chapter presents the process of the formulation of the circular migration approach at the European level. It examines the genesis of the circular migration concept in the EU’s migration policy by discussing the main policy developments and legal acts adopted since the Tampere programme as well as by analysing the interviews concluded with EU and international actors that have had a bearing on the topic. In doing so it outlines the formulation of a two-fold approach towards the facilitation of circular migration at the EU level, incorporating legal migration directives and policy initiatives developed under the auspices of the Global Approach to Migration and Development (GAMM).
