Escaping the Deterrence Trap: Key Building Blocks for a Better Migration System
The growing numbers of asylum seekers andirregular migrants are straining asylum and reception capacities, and in manycountries, demographic changes and labor shortages have created infilled immigrationneeds. The dominant narratives and policy measures in many countries of theGlobal North have returned to calls for more control, often narrowly conflatedwith deterrence. In their paper for the
Robert Bosch Foundation, JessicaBither and Hannes Einsporn sketch a vision of how governments can regain a realand appropriate sense of control through a workable system of interventions tooffer options and flexibility to states, people on the move, and others. Theauthors note that thinking this way offers a different point of entry to betternavigate policymaking in a highly polarized, politicized, and often seeminglyintractable debate.
