THE MIGRATION MANAGEMENT TRAP: NO VICTIMS, NO CRIMINALS—ONLY MANAGERS

Europe externalises its borders, Tunisia trades control for money and legitimacy, and the migrant becomes a currency.

Migration is neither a threat nor a tragedy. It is a system of management—and everyone is a manager.

From the opening:
“In Sfax, migrants from sub-Saharan Africa wait in informal settlements for a journey that may never happen. Some have tried to cross the Mediterranean and failed. Others were intercepted before departure.”

By Saif Eddine Ghobr, Founder, Tunisia Watch, Tunis

CANADA CANNOT JOIN EUROPE. IT CAN GET MOST OF THE WAY THERE.

What an EU 'associate' status for Canada could contain, what the treaties rule out, and three scenarios with odds. By J. Dyson.

Ottawa is exploring a status that does not exist, with a bloc whose treaties say it cannot join, to escape a neighbour that takes seven in ten of its exports. This brief sets out what is actually on the table, what is not, and how to price the outcomes.

From the opening:
“On 13 September the Wall Street Journal reported that Prime Minister Mark Carney is exploring whether Canada could become an "associate member" of the European Union, and that officials on both sides were open to creating a status that does not currently exist. The European Commission declined to comment.”

EUROPE IS BECOMING A CHINESE COLONY

How Europe’s trade imbalance with China is becoming a vulnerability for jobs, manufacturing, and security.

From the opening:
“This is not something unique, but it’s the now the relatity that the EU is facing right now, and again, this phrase is not used by me at all, it's been used by the European news outlet”

HOW FAR CAN EUROPE GO FOR UKRAINE?

Europe has become Ukraine’s biggest financial backer. The real question is whether Europe’s own economy can survive the cost.

From the opening:
“This week, the Ukraine Recovery Conference wrapped up in Gdańsk, Poland. Five thousand participants from 70 countries. 160 deals worth €10 billion signed. The EU handed over the first €3.2 billion tranche of its massive new loan package.”

THE TWO-TIER SYSTEM OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Why Fast-Tracking Ukraine Could Reshape EU Membership Forever

From the opening:
“The European Union was created on a simple but powerful idea: all member states are equal. Whether a country is big or small, rich or poor, once it joins the EU, it has the same legal status, the same voting rights, and the same obligations as every other member.”
