dc.description.abstractAmong academics there is a strong critique of the European Union’s strategy to include migration measurements within trade agreements. While some trade agreements facilitate migration in accordance with liberalism, this thesis looks at two agreements that do not. In the Cotonou agreement with African, Caribbean and Pacific states the EU agreed to regulate migration. In the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership with countries from around the Mediterranean the EU agreed to restrict migration. What explains this difference? That question is answered in this thesis through a Liberal Intergovernmentalist case study of the two agreements. In short, within the scope of the case studies it appears that sharing a track record of agreements increases the likelihood of a European preference for regulation. However, if the other party is geographically close to conflictual areas the likelihood of a restrictive preference increases. Lastly, when the EU prefers restriction, power asymmetry affects the possibility to impose this preference on an often unwilling third party.en_US
