This article examines the policy responses of Western countries in the realm of asylum. We begin by explaining the reasons why the asylum issue has made its way up the political agendas of liberal democratic countries in recent years. While applications for asylum have risen in the last two decades, we also highlight the way rights-based constraints and financial costs have contributed to controversy around the issue. We then examine in detail the major policy responses of states to asylum, grouping them into four main categories: measures aiming to prevent access to state territory, measures to deter arrivals, measures to limit stay, and measures to manage arrival. Moving then to explore the efficacy of these measures, we consider the utility of policy making from the viewpoints of states, asylum seekers and refugees, and international society. The article concludes with the presentation of four new directions in which policies could move in order better to square the professed interests of Western states with the needs of refugees for protection.

“…It was designed to distribute work permits for specific regions and economic sectors in Spain to potential immigrants abroad (through Spanish embassies and consulates). In practice though, instead of attracting new workers, the quota system is functioning as a concealed regularisation mechanism for irregular immigrants already present in Spain; issuing an annual average of 30,000 work permits mostly to migrants form Latin America (Favell & Hansen 2002). Making the addition, Carvajal (2004) sees that between 1986 and 2001 at least between 600,000 and 700,000 people have been regularised, plus 140,000 of the contingent between 1993 and 2000 (and other channels left out here).…”

“…Using a multiple regression model Behle (2014) showed that UK-educated mobile graduates from undergraduate courses were significantly more likely to come from high or highest social classes and/or had studied at the highest reputation institutions compared to those who remained in the UK. Graduates who had studied languages and who had previously experienced mobility as part of their undergraduate course were also more likely to be mobile.…”

“…The EU's mobility agenda encourages the mobility of workers as a means of enhancing the efficiency of national labour markets and thus increasing Europe's competitiveness and growth in a globalised economy (Favell and Hansen 2002). Mobility within the EU is mainly employment-driven rather than controlled by national or EU legislation (Favell andHansen 2002, European Foundation 2006).…”

“…Mobility within the EU is mainly employment-driven rather than controlled by national or EU legislation (Favell andHansen 2002, European Foundation 2006). Free movement of workers is at the heart of the vision of Europe as a free-trade area in order to create a joint flexible and more efficient European labour market, to match labour supply to demand, to iron out inefficiencies in national markets, and to reduce unemployment (Bosswell and Geddes, 2011).…”

Students and graduates alike are encouraged to enhance their skills and knowledge by moving to a different European country as both national governments and European institutions anticipate individual skill gains, closer European networks and a boost to national economies as a result. Using data from a longitudinal survey, this paper follows UK-educated Intra-European mobile graduates from undergraduate courses into employment, further study or other activities, and compares their early pathway with graduates who remained in the UK (UK stayer). UK-educated mobile graduates are divided into three groups according to their residency and location after their undergraduate course: UK nationals moving to a different European country (UK movers); nationals of other European countries returning to their home country (returners); and nationals of other European countries moving to a third European country (other mobile graduates). Empirical findings show that mobility for UK movers is mainly employment-driven whilst mobility of returners and other mobile graduates is educational-driven. However, if employed, UK-educated mobile graduates are more likely to work in skillappropriate occupations compared to UK stayers. The transition to either employment or further study of most UK-educated mobile graduates does not take longer compared to UK stayers.
