More Project

MORE is a collaborative academic initiative that critically examines the Returns and Readmissions policy of the European Union and the United Kingdom. This policy has resulted in the narrowing of the pathways meant to safeguard the rights of migrated populations across Europe. The increasingly restrictive interpretations of the Returns Directive, coupled with intensified efforts to facilitate returns and deportations, have contributed to severe human rights violations. MORE analyses how the dynamics of the securitisation of borders, economic interests, and political imperatives have converged to promote and sustain returns policies. The research examines the consequences of these policies on the daily lives of irregularised migrants, their families, communities, and the European society at large. Moreover, it explores alternative approaches beyond return that tackle the structural causes of irregularity and provide dignified solutions. More has 5 objectives: Generate up-to-date knowledge on public opinion of the return and readmissions policy, alternative strategies, and the implications of this on the political debate. Develop a critical in-depth analysis of the returns and readmission policy, including its motivation, rationale, and implementation. Provide an in-depth ethnographic assessment of the consequences of the Returns and Readmissions policy from the perspectives of migrants living in situations of irregularity. Examine the implementation of policy through an in-depth ethnographic approach to key agents working on the field. A testimonial from a client who benefited from your product or service.
