Resilience is a new buzzword in the European Union’s external governance approach and is currently being probed as a new paradigm for migration governance, too. During the so-called refugee crisis, the efforts have been doubled to carve out an approach which could ostensibly help address root causes of migration whilst also improving integration outcomes of new residents in host countries. Yet, policy analysts and researchers are yet to elaborate whether and how resilience assessments prominent in natural disaster relief or development aid can, and indeed should, be applied in migration governance.
The talk addresses three questions: 1) What could resilience mean in the migration context? 2) How could resilience be assessed and improved? 3) Which implications both for migration governance and for the position of migrants themselves would a shift to a resilience paradigm entail?
