Summary/Abstract: Since 2015 an uncontrolled increase in the arrivals of migrants has not been followed by a shared response based on solidarity (Carrera et al., 2015; Thielemann et al., 2010). The so-called “refugee crisis” has highlighted the European Union’s inability to address the issue of migration. Indeed, the initial empathy expressed by the Heads of State and Government of the Member States with regard to the serious shipwreck off the Libyan coast in April 2015 has given way to “externalization of migration and border controls” (MorenoLax & Giuffré, 2017:3).
