Summary
Since 2015 and in response to the so-called migration crisis, the European Union (EU) has adopted several budget amendments, and created new funds in the field of migration. The chapter analyses these changes in the EU funding landscape from a border drawing perspective. After showing that funds have been extensively used by EU institution as a response to the so-called migration crisis, the chapter attempts to answer the following research question: does the evolution of the EU funding landscape in response to the migration crisis illustrate a mainly inclusive or mainly exclusive border drawing dynamic? To do so, the chapter starts by describing the various areas and objectives of the EU migration policy that funding decisions could be intended to support, classifying them as areas with a mainly inclusive purpose and areas with a mainly exclusive purpose. Then, it gives an overview of the changes in the EU’s funding patterns since the outbreak of the migration crisis in 2015. Finally, it examines these changes from a border drawing perspective, reaching the conclusion that EU funding decisions taken after the migration crisis have responded to a mainly exclusive dynamic.
