Podcast: Navigating EU Migration Policies: Insights from Jordan and Ghana with Dr Zoe Jordan and Dr Cathrine Talleraas

EFFEXT project researchers Zoe Jordan and Cathrine Talleraas talked to the Oxford Brookes Unscripted Podcast about the intricate relationship between European migration policies and their impact on countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). They presented their findings from their respective research areas of Jordan and Ghana. 

The discussion centered on the paradox of EU efforts to reduce migration flows and increase returns, while migration is a crucial driver of economic development in these regions. The podcast unpacks how EU migration management strategies have influenced local policies and practices, and how these countries are navigating and adapting to these external pressures.

Tune in to understand the complex dynamics of international migration management and its real-world effects on migrants and the countries they leave behind.
