How should Italy and the EU respond to the refugee and migrant challenge? How is the situation evolving? A possible essay plan.
Introduction.
A reference to a
recent event or government (or EU) statement that highlights the nature of the
humanitarian crisis and/or the intensity of the political debate on migration
(e.g. https://www.mediterraneaonline.eu/che-fine-fanno-i-migranti-in-era-covid/). Then explain
that in this essay you will first briefly outline the scale and nature of the refugee/migrant
challenge for the EU and Italy in particular. Then explain what your line of
argument will be.
e.g. In this
essay I will argue that the immigration question is more complex than many
people realise, so it is unlikely to be fully resolved in the near future. In
fact, it will require a long-term, well-funded, well-coordinated strategy at
both the national and EU level to be effectively addressed. I will also argue
that if the number of new arrivals remains low, the focus of policy and action will
shift more and more to dealing with those who are already here, in terms of
both repatriation and successful integration.
Body of essay.
Describe the nature and scale of challenge over the
last few years. Provide the relevant facts and figures regarding the causes,
routes and rise in migration numbers at the EU and Italian borders. Describe
the shift in routes after the EU-Turkey agreement and how Italy then took most
of the pressure. Explain the legal (human rights) and moral obligation to
assist people in danger and what the terms refugee and migrant mean.
(You could make a
comparison with the wider picture regarding migration in other parts of the
world or inside the EU)
Move on to the
consequences and challenge for Italy in 2015-16. Huge pressure on limited
resources/ physical resources (ships for rescue operations, facilities for
reception, status assessment (interview and refugee application processing)
temporary and longer-term accommodation, detention centres and other facilities
for those waiting for relocation or repatriation/ human resources (personnel
for all this)/ economic resources (funding for all this). Italy's call for aid
and solidarity from the EU and its EU partners to handle this crisis more
effectively and speed up the process. Explain the possible outcomes of an
application for refugee status and figures for applicants in Italy. Explain the
costs and practical difficulties involved in the repatriation process.
Italian and EU
initiatives to deal with the crisis from Mare Nostrum to the agreements with
the Turkish and Libyan governments. The fall in the number of arrivals. The concerns of NGOs about these agreements. The ongoing gap between promises and lack
of solidarity from EU partners.
The effect of the
migration challenge as an indicator of the chances of effective EU cooperation
(on this and other issues) now and in the future and the impact on domestic
politics. The reaction of the public in Italy and across Europe, rise of
anti-migrant fears and some xenophobia, growing political support for populist
and nationalist (and often anti-EU) movements, reaction of Eastern and Central
Europe and the temporary suspension of Schengen in other countries. real causes
of this phenomenon?
A further question concerns accusations by
NGOs that the EU and Italy are at least partially complicit in human rights
violations occurring in detention centres in Turkey and Libya since the
agreements reached with those governments involve holding migrants in or
returning them to those centres. The Italian government says it is
working with the
Libyan authorities to improve the situation.
The effects of the
Covid-19 health crisis on migration and migrants in transit and in Italy.
Conclusion.
Challenges for the
future and the Italian government's priorities. Short term – more resources
(from the EU and EU partners/ Recent EU proposal) to keep the number of new
arrivals low. Repeat that with the fall
in the number of arrivals the emphasis now seems to be on dealing with those
who are here, speeding up the process of assessing refugee status, for
relocation and repatriation and more cooperation and solidarity needed from
Italy's EU partners on relocation (and the idea of processing applications for
refugee status in other EU states and not the country of arrival?). Long term –
agreements, meetings and framework for cooperation with countries of origin to
boost their economies and local employment opportunities and discourage illegal
migration in favour of applications there for legal migration (give examples),
and with countries of transit to counter illegal migration, ensure respect for
basic human rights and help run the application process abroad. The need for a
coordinated EU strategy for more effective integration and relocation of migrants
granted refugee status and better treatment of migrants while they are in
Europe. Rebuilding EU solidarity.
