The Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) and the European University Institute (EUI) organized on Wednesday 8 July and Thursday 9 July 2015 an international conference on: “Governing Irregular Migration: States, Actors and Intermediaries”. The conference marked the completion of the IRMA project, funded by the Greek General Secretariat for Research and Technology, Action “Aristeia”.
The conference asked three questions:
- how migrants make and change their plans and strategies for migrating despite legal restrictions at destination countries,
- which are the actors (national, local or transnational, state or non-state) that affect their decision making and actions, and how do they do it;
- why specific actors are more effective than state policies in shaping migrants plans and decisions.
