Title Circular Migration Policy Developments within the Framework of European Union???s Partnership for Mobility (PfM) Initiative and Policy Implementation Challenges in Georgia
Summary Since 2009 the circular migration policy has been actively promoted in Georgia. The adoption of the policy is linked to the introduction of a new political initiative of the European Union, namely the Partnership for Mobility (PfM). The present thesis employs the qualitative research methodology and the pertinent theories of the public policy field to analyze the circular migration policy development peculiarities in Georgia from 2009 to present. In particular, the thesis intends to: (1) find the main rationales behind the adoption of the circular migration policy in Georgia; (2) reveal the challenges related to the policy implementation process; (3) and, elaborate on the reasons for the presently re-emerged political interest in the policy. The present thesis, as a country-specific research on the circular migration policy in Georgia to a certain extent fills the gap in the circular migration policy related literature and identifies the topics for further research. The main findings and the analysis of the thesis contributes to the evidence-based and informed policy-making in the future on circular migration issues in Georgia.
Key words: Georgia, EU Partnership for Mobility, Circular Migration Policy
