This week's EU Channel plan promises to break the smugglers and stop people from drowning. In a new Third World Quarterly article, I show how that humanitarian frame sells restriction as protection—while the crossing only grows deadlier. 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1080/014365…
Fifty-two years ago, France "provisionally" suspended immigration. Last month, French Minister Darmanin proposed the same moratorium. A remedy that has to be represcribed is no remedy at all—the "immigration problem" is too useful to be solved. New piece: emmanuelcomte.substack.com/p/immigration-…
@PhilWMagness The paragraph that immediately follows is also useful for the context of that particular quote:
Greece's Eastern Aegean arrivals fell 63% this year. So, Crete is now a main entry point into the EU. Mediterranean migration runs on interdependence: closing one lane does not stop the flow—it reroutes it. 👉🏻 doi.org/10.5771/0947-9…
On 13 May, Brussels began drafting Montenegro's EU accession treaty — the first since Croatia in 2011. The treaty shows renewed momentum, demonstrating one more time that free movement inevitably fades politically. cambridge.org/core/books/abs…
The Commission calls Schengen "resilient." Yet 10 states run internal border checks; France renewed until 31 Oct. European free movement is a permanent struggle to contain state control over human movement — never finished. 👉🏻 doi.org/10.12759/hsr.5…
Book launch tomorrow at the University of Cyprus: The Global Migration Turn and the New International Order in the Long 1970s (Routledge, 2026), ed. with Simone Paoli. 20 May · 3:45 PM · LRC 012, Nicosia. Discussant: Michalis Moutselos. Free admission. See you there!
Chișinău this Friday: 46 states tell the ECtHR to defer to national judges on expulsion cases. This isn't new. What we call the 1970s' restrictive "migration turn" manufactured a permanent immigration challenge, making conflict with the Court inherent. 👉🏻 routledge.com/9789048566334
Aachen today: Draghi receives the Charlemagne Prize, lauded by Germany's Chancellor. My recent chapter on German hegemony explains it well: a German-led order recognising the man who safeguarded it. 👉🏻 doi.org/10.4324/978100…
The European Parliament's EMPL endorsed the EU's new social security deal—billed as "fair labour mobility". My Labor History article on 70 years of posted-worker disputes shows the same logic: "protection" that shields richer countries' labour markets. 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1080/002365…
"Ten years ago, we didn't have a system,"—Brunner this week, on the new Pact. The EU regime was set by the 1970s: free movement inside, coordinated closure outside. The Pact doesn't start a system—it continues a long-standing and ineffective one. 👉🏻 cambridge.org/core/books/abs…
Yesterday's Yerevan migration declaration reads as European unity. With Sandra Lavenex, I argued the opposite: EU border cooperation advances through differentiation, with non-EU partners pulled in outside EU law. The EPC is that pattern formalised. 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1080/039327….
Yesterday's EU asylum figures: down 27% in 2025—claimed as proof the Pact works, six weeks before it applies. As I have argued, Europe's asylum regime externalises its problems. This drop is no exception: it owes more to Assad's fall than to Brussels. 👉🏻 doi.org/10.24241/rcai.…
When Brunner (Migration Commissioner) and Stoklund (Danish presidency chair) presented the 2026 Solidarity Pool, six states won waivers from it. Differentiation, not uniform rules, has always governed this regime — Sandra Lavenex & I showed here 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1080/039327…
Spain has overtaken Germany as the EU's largest asylum recipient — first time since 2015. Read as German decline? Wrong frame: post-1989 Berlin built the Dublin system to keep first-entry responsibility on others. The regime is working as intended. 👉 doi.org/10.1515/978311…
Big day: @RoutledgeHist has released our new book, The Global Migration Turn and the New International Order in the Long 1970s, edited with Simone Paoli. You can ask your library to order it or get the eBook here: routledge.com/9789048566334 Want an audiobook version? Tell me.
