This Chapter maps and analyses EU arrangements with selected third countries, with a focus on the role of instruments and actors in the implementation of such arrangements. The Chapter hones in on EU cooperation with Türkiye, Serbia, Niger and Tunisia, with particular attention afforded to arrangements since the European migrant and refugee ‘crisis’ of 2015. In mapping such arrangements, which encompass international relationships between the EU and third countries, the Chapter provides a country-by-country overview and inventory of relevant political, legal and financial instruments. The Chapter also takes particular note of the role of both EU and third country actors in implementing these instruments. The Chapter analyses the role of EU cooperation in providing for access to international protection, either within the transit country or on the basis of mobility via third country solutions, conceived of in the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) as ‘resettlement and complementary pathways to admission’. The Chapter finally discusses how these arrangements form part of the EU’s containment approach, by preventing onward movement from Türkiye, Serbia, Niger and Tunisia towards EU borders.

  • Nikolas Feith Tan

摘要

This Chapter maps and analyses EU arrangements with selected third countries, with a focus on the role of instruments and actors in the implementation of such arrangements. The Chapter hones in on EU cooperation with Türkiye, Serbia, Niger and Tunisia, with particular attention afforded to arrangements since the European migrant and refugee ‘crisis’ of 2015. In mapping such arrangements, which encompass international relationships between the EU and third countries, the Chapter provides a country-by-country overview and inventory of relevant political, legal and financial instruments. The Chapter also takes particular note of the role of both EU and third country actors in implementing these instruments. The Chapter analyses the role of EU cooperation in providing for access to international protection, either within the transit country or on the basis of mobility via third country solutions, conceived of in the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) as ‘resettlement and complementary pathways to admission’. The Chapter finally discusses how these arrangements form part of the EU’s containment approach, by preventing onward movement from Türkiye, Serbia, Niger and Tunisia towards EU borders.
