Abstract: EU migration governance stands for immigration governance. However, the EU is an area of immigration and emigration, with over 100,000 people leaving the region to work or study in other parts of the world every year. Also, intra-EU mobility is both about source and destination. Yet policies and discourses addressing the emigration side are seemingly absent from the European debate. Or are they? In the talk I present an analysis of European approaches to emigration and diaspora after the recent financial crisis. I suggest that these policies are in turmoil, diverging rather than converging. This changing policy landscape has deep consequences for mobility of EU nationals in Europe and outside of it.
