Abstract

Upheavals in the EU´s Neighbourhood in 2011 and the following ´migration crisis´ have prompted the EU to recalibrate its partnership priorities with its non-EU partners and to reframe its global strategy in the domains of security and migration. Within this climate, Syria’s neighbours, who have received a great number of refugees since 2011, have emerged as Europe’s new strategic interlocutors. In the light of their ability to stem the refugee influx towards Europe, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey have been able to leverage the ‘value of their hosting capacity’ vis-a-vis the EU and its member states. This key note speech will critically examine the EU’s new partnership in migration and refugee governance with key refugee hosting states in Syria’s Neighbourhood and will reflect on their implications.
