Brief description:

The EU is facing a migration management dilemma. The compromise between inclusion and exclusion developed by the European Court of Human Rights failed to guarantee human rights obligations and security challenges. This situation has put pressure on the member states overlooking the Mediterranean Sea namely Italy and Greece. In this scenario, these member states have attempted to pursue strategies to contain the phenomenon assuring both human rights and security. This project analyses two different strategies developed by the Italian government and one by the EU in the last five years to respond to the Libyan migration crisis. These strategies are the Mare Nostrum operation, and the Minniti one. These strategies are designed around three pillars: Border; Territory; Human Rights. The project suggests that these pillars are assembled differently at different times to achieve specific policy goals. In doing so, the normative assemblage could be instrumental to either an inclusive or an exclusive border strategy.
