I'm delighted to announce the publication of my new report, 'The Challenge of Coordinating Border Management Assistance between Europe and the Maghreb.'

Written for the Migration Policy Institute’s Transatlantic Council on Migration, the report examines the border security situation within the Maghreb and the efforts of the European Union and its member states to address challenges stemming from a complex migration picture and differing perspectives and policy priorities of Maghrebi and European policymakers. It offers lessons and recommendations as Europe commits new resources to build Maghrebi state capacity to reduce irregular migration and address border security challenges such as transnational terrorism and human, arms and drug smuggling.
