MPI's Demetrios Papademetriou discusses the current policy responses to the refugee and migration crisis at EU and national levels, and possible options for dealing more effectively with the crisis and longer-term integration challenges. Recently returned from several months working in Brussels, Papademetriou sketches the near- and longer-term policy proposals that the European Union and its Member States should consider for Europe, countries of first asylum such as Turkey, and within Syria to help end the chaotic, spontaneous flows of migrants and bring some order and legality to the system while also assuring a greater focus on the longer-term integration challenges.
