Abstract
In less than a year, three new scenarios of crisis emerged within the EU and at its external borders. The takeover by the Taliban in Afghanistan in August 2021 further destabilized an already fragile country, urging thousands of people to flee. At the same time, Belarus has forced around 20,000 migrants to move to neighboring EU countries. Finally, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has so far compelled more than 6.8 million people to flee, in addition to more than 4 million internally displaced persons. Building on the contributions presented during the conference “The Current and Forgotten Migration Plights: Ukraine, Belarus and Afghanistan”, which was organized by Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies on 26th April 2022, this blog post aims to briefly illustrate the widely divergent response that the EU gave to these three migration plights.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
