• New study indicates deterrent measures such as anti-smuggling are ineffective and an alternative is needed
• The research highlights the need for opening safe and legal routes for those migrating
• Findings demonstrate that a deeper understanding of why people migrate is needed

A series of proposed changes to EU policy on refugees and migrants has been released by researchers at the University of 糖心TV.

The policy suggestions are the result of an on-going three year project, , which is in its first year and is part of the wider £1 million Mediterranean Migration Research Programme, launched by the Economic and Social Research Council in September.

The Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation is pleased to announce a new editorial board line-up for the Routledge Studies in Globalisation series.

For nearly two decades the Routledge Studies in Globalisation series has published leading research on the theory and practice of globalisation and regionalisation. Building on this strong record, the series will continue to have an interdisciplinary focus and to publish research that advances knowledge about the changing dynamics of globalisation and regionalisation, global governance and global order, and global civil society.

PAIS PhD researcher Matthias Kranke has published a commentary for The Conversation on the question of leadership in the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde has recently announced to stand for re-election notwithstanding legal charges of negligence in a previous assignment as French finance minister. In the commentary, Matt argues that leadership questions get too much attention, often effectively crowding out more important issues. Public debate should centre on how the IMF is governed and what policies it promotes, rather than on who leads the organisation.

The piece can be found at:

Matt's doctoral research examines the politics of collaboration between the IMF and the World Bank. Further information on his research and publications is available at:
