Title Rethinking EU Migration policy : case study of Ukraine
Summary European Union single market has experienced several shocks, as a result of which demand and supply of labor were no longer in equilibrium. This presented an opportunity for workers from outside of the EU to join European labor market. To manage flow of labor immigrants governments implemented set of policies focusing mainly on the external dimension. Those policies were necessary, but not sufficient to manage flow of immigrants. In countries such as Ukraine where connection between citizens and governments is broken, European state-level approaches are less effective. Instead, governments should focus on the neglected potential of diaspora networks, which can be used as a valuable tool in migration policies.
To illustrate my argument I will identify trends in Ukrainian emigration and immigration into the EU. Following this I will analyse European migration policies and outline problems in their implementation. Building on this, I will propose diasporas as a tool for integration of labor migrants into the host society.
