This book argues that three main factors condition the relevance of Mobility Partnerships: the state of relations between EU Member States and a third country, and in particular, to what extent postcolonial ties play a role here; the power of negotiation of a third country, which is linked to its geopolitical importance for the EU; and its administrative capacity, which is understood here as the capacity of a state to define and implement policies and to legislate and enforce the law. The work combines a comparative legal analysis of the development of the legal and policy frameworks in the two cases of Morocco and Cape Verde with an empirical study of the implementation of Mobility Partnerships' projects. The analysis demonstrates that Mobility Partnerships, despite their non-binding nature, have legal and policy relevance for these third countries with regard to the regulation of migration, asylum, human trafficking and even labour law. As such, this book makes a contribution to the understanding of the interplay between the interests of EU, Member State and third country actors in the implementation of the Mobility Partnerships"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003009665 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
