Europe’s migration crisis [What Think Tanks are Thinking]

In March 2016 the current migration crisis in Europe threatens to turn into a humanitarian one, with the build-up of thousands of migrants and refugees close to Greece’s northern border, as other countries shut their borders to stop the flow of people fleeing war and poverty in Syria, North of Africa and elsewhere. The European Council is preparing for a special meeting with Turkey on migration on the 7 March 2016, with the crisis posing significant challenges for the integrity of the Schengen free-travel area.

This note offers links to a series of recent commentaries and studies on migration from major international think tanks and research institutes.
