Sustainability and EU Migration Law

Sustainable migration is the new objective of the EU migration policy. But what does this mean in terms of legal design? What instruments should be put in place to achieve it? And most importantly, what does it imply for migrants’ rights? While sustainability has attracted scholarly attention in law and politics already since the 1990s, sustainable migration is an extremely understudied topic with no conclusive research carried out on the matter. The book covers a unique scholarly gap by being the first ever contribution that traces the history of sustainable migration in EU law, demonstrates its limitations and potentials, and puts forward concrete proposals on how EU migration law should develop in the future. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Alezini Loxa holds a PhD in EU law from Lund University (LU), Sweden. Her PhD thesis was awarded the 2023 Oscar II Prize for best thesis in the LU Faculty of Law, the 2024 LU Agenda 2030 Honourable mention for interdisciplinary research on sustainable development by early career scholars, and the EGLP 2024 Thesis Prize for the best doctoral public law thesis characterized by its European dimension.
