Changing Migration Patterns and Migration Governance in the Mediterranean Region

Abstract:

The seminar “Changing Migration Patterns and Migration Governance in the Mediterranean Region” was convened at the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) in Rome on 18 December 2014, with the aims of discussing first drafts of selected papers for the New-Med series on migration with the local civil society and policy community and of brainstorming ideas for further activities. As an OSCE-related network, New-Med stands ready to offer its expertise to OSCE initiatives in the field of migration in 2015. New-Med will continue to provide a valuable “Track II” channel for policy discussions on key challenges facing the European and Mediterranean regions. The seminar focused on two issues: migration patterns in the Mediterranean and the international governance response.
