- Summary
- This paper argues that the effectiveness of migration and non-migration policies in regulating migration flows should not be overestimated2. To support this argument, the paper analyses the role of push and pull factors of migration, the impact of different types of national policies and the effects of international cooperation on forced migration, including reference to highly developed institutions of regional cooperation in the European Union (EU) context. Particular attention will be paid to lessons learnt in the field of asylum and refugee policy, the area of forced migration with the most established evidence base.
