PROTECT: the external dimension of the EU's migration and asylum policy

The data and documentation in this study is an innovation project that is a part of "PROTECT The Right to International Protection: A Pendulum between Globalization and Nativization?". This is an EU-funded research project launched on 1 February 2020. The impacts of the UN's Global Compacts on Refugees and Migration are studied, which are two non-binding frameworks promoting international cooperation and responsibility-sharing as key solutions to handle global refugee flows. By studying how the Compacts are received and implemented in different countries, and how they interact with existing legal frameworks and governance architectures, the Compacts' impact on refugees' right to international protection is investigated. More specifically, this database maps the different policy tools of the external dimension of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and of the Asylum policy of the EU. The information gathered in this database concerns the policy toolbox relating to the external dimension of the EU’s asylum and migration policy. Said toolbox is also displayed on an interactive map available to the public by following the link: https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/eu-external-migration-policy-tools_584227#4/30.33/41.13.
