Abstract

This report provides the first comprehensive and longitudinal analysis of the nexus between migration and trade policies in EU external relations. First, the report retraces the inclusion of migration policy provisions in EU trade policy instruments from the 1960s onwards and analyses the contents and rationale
of these provisions against the backdrop of the EU's evolving migration policy.
Second, the report focuses on the design and implementation of the most recent instruments combining EU trade and migration policy: the so-called 'compacts' concluded with Jordan and Lebanon, two key regional host states that have together received two million refugees in the context of widespread displacement from Syria. The report pursues four inter-connected objectives:
1) identifying the rationale guiding the inclusion of migration policy objectives in EU trade policy instruments and assessing to what extent this policy nexus is the outcome of a comprehensive, coordinated EU migration policy,
2) examining the effectiveness of the trade-migration policy nexus in practice,
3) identifying the factors under which this nexus contributes to a comprehensive and effective EU migration policy, and
(4) delineating the contextual conditions under which this nexus is synchronised with the goal of rights-based humanitarianism in migration governance.
