Immigration Policy and Crisis in the Regional Context
Asian and European Experiences

*Explores challenges of contemporary immigration governance in the
European and Asian contexts
*Considers the strengths and weaknesses of the various political actors in the two regions
*Brings together perspectives on the immigration issue from professors, experts, and scholars from various countries in Europe and Asia

This book compares the immigration policies of EU states and Asian countries—Germany, Poland, Estonia, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam,- and Thailand—analyses the policy strengths and weaknesses of various political actors in the regions and explores what can be learned from the experiences of different states. In the recent decades, immigration policy has become a hot topic due to globalization. EU has faced challenges in immigration since the refugee crisis in 2015 when over a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe. In Asia, immigration issue has become more complicated as the economic ties among Asian countries have grown significantly in recent years. With contributions by professors, experts and scholars from various countries across Europe and Asia, the book provides both in-depth analyses and broad perspectives on the topic, making it a valuable read for academics and policymakers alike.

Special Issue



Is the future of the European Union more differentiated?



Brexit, Schengen area, Eurozone, “opt-out” mechanisms, permanent structured cooperation (PESCO) are just some of the few examples of a differentiated integration (DI) characterizing the European Union (EU) nowadays. Integration is differentiated when, within the common framework of EU competences, not all member states are subject to the same and uniform community rules. In the literature there is a wide consensus on the fact that the different instruments of DI have offered successful solutions for overcoming possible political vetoes and stalemates, promoting deeper integration only among those member states willing to pursue it. Under this perspective, DI reflects the heterogeneity of interests of the EU Member States.

Recently, the EU has adopted several measures promoting a differentiated integration. For instance, almost all the answers adopted to overcome the 2008 economic crisis have been based on forms of DI (e.g. the Fiscal Compact). However, the future of the EU integration is not necessarily differentiated nor necessarily uniform: the most recent crisis, the Covid crisis symmetrically affecting all the Member States, has not produced differentiated answers but the adoption of homogeneous instruments (e.g. the Recovery Plan). So, if uniform integration cannot be taken for granted, DI cannot be considered inevitable either.

If, on the one hand, DI has accommodate the differences between the Member States, on the other hand it has also offered a way for third countries to be associated to the EU without being full members. This is the case of Norway, Switzerland and many Neighbour Countries. Therefore, DI has an internal but also an external dimension.

DI also poses a series of questions on the future of EU integration: how much differentiation is possible without putting at risk the entire integration? Where does differentiation end and disintegration begin? Is DI (with its complexity and, sometimes, duplication of institutions) increasing the complexity of the EU and its democratic deficit? And, finally, is the future of the EU inevitably more differentiated?

ANZJES is looking for papers of around 6,000 words dealing with all aspects related to DI: theories of DI, the implications of DI for the EU integration, DI and negotiations theories, DI in EU policies, consequences of DI for relations with neighbors (including the UK).

At the beginning of 2020, the outbreak of Covid-19 has hit the global economy and supply chain. Faced with this severe crisis, the great powers are overwhelmed by their own concerns and are reluctant to take the lead of the global resistance on pandemic and economic recovery. When most of countries only focus on their own interests, the atmosphere of Beggar-thy-neighbor spreads. However, while the pandemic comes to an end, the confrontation between two great powers, United States and China, will attract more attention from the world. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the development of globalization has been stagnated and protectionism is booming, coupled with the more inward-looking foreign policies adopted by the Trump administration, the economy globalization is facing more challenges. The impact of factors mentioned above on the current international relations and global order is worthy of in-depth discussion.
This year, the annual conference with the topic of “Challenges and Trends in International Relations: Towards a De-globalizing Asia and World?” will be co-hosted by the Association of International Relations, ROC and Department of East Asian Studies of National Taiwan Normal University. The sub topics are as follows:

2.Globalization and De-globalizing (Global integration and disintegration, protectionism, WHO and global epidemic prevention…etc.)
3.Non Traditional Security Issues (Human rights and international norms, public health, immigration and refugees, ethnic political conflicts, energy politics, extremist organizations and terrorist threats, marine and environmental security… etc.)
4.The theory of International Relations (The latest development of International Relations theory, review and innovation of traditional thought of international relations, history and international relations… etc.)
5.The Issues of International Political Economy (regional economic and trade integration, international trade conflicts, international financial governance, Sino-US trade conflicts, development and impact of the Belt and Road Initiative… etc.)
6.The issues of International Strategy and Security (Foreign policy and security strategies of major countries, situation on the Korean Peninsula, disputes in the South China Sea, regional strategic situation…etc.)
7.Issues of U.S.-China-Taiwan relations (U.S. policy toward the United States after the presidential election and the trend of U.S.-China relations, mainland China’s Taiwan policy, Taiwan’s foreign policy and cross-strait relations…etc.)

Launched by France’s President Emmanuel Macron, the Make Our Planet Great Again initiative has met with worldwide enthusiasm, generating expressions of interest from a large number of highly qualified students and researchers.

France’s ministries of Europe and foreign affairs (MEAE) and of higher education, research, and innovation (MESRI) in collaboration with Campus France have implemented a program of support for foreign postdoctoral researchers wishing to conduct further research in France on a topic related to earth systems, climate change and sustainability, the energy transition, or societal challenges of environmental issues.

Foreign researchers holding a doctoral degree (for less than 5 years) are encouraged to respond to this call for proposals. Candidates must include with their application a letter from a French host institution agreeing to host their research if the candidate’s proposal is accepted by the program. This letter has to detail the resources provided to carry out the research project. A possibility of co-financing can also be considered.

Research themes
Four broad research themes are prioritized:
- Earth systems,
- Climate change and sustainability,
- Energy transition,
- Societal challenges of environmental issues.

New Leadership, New Priorities - The EU in 2019

2019 will be a watershed year for EU institution building. First, the year marks the 40th anniversary of direct elections to the European Parliament and the conference calls for papers that offer a comparative longitudinal perspective. Second, the 2019 elections will be the first to be held after BREXIT and the consequences for the EU will warrant ananlysis. Third, the selection of the new Commission as well as the Commission and Council Presidents and the High Representative will also occur in 2019. The conference will examine this institutional renewal as well as reflect on the performance of these actors in the 2015-2019 period. While this is the main theme of the conference, papers that address other issues of European Integration are also welcomed.

EUSAAP offers a high-quality, international academic conference that analyses European Integreation from both, a European and Asia Pacific perspective, as well as multidisciplinary one. We especially welcome early career researchers, those new to the field and practitioners to participate.
