## Migration Dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean

Page Content

​The Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI) at the American University of Beirut is pleased to share this series of publications developed in collaboration with FES Cyprus, the Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), and the PRIO Cyprus Centre. This joint research project offers an in-depth comparative analysis of migration dynamics and policy responses across Egypt, Lebanon, Greece, and Cyprus.\

The research reports provide an in-depth analysis of migration trends in the Eastern Mediterranean, focusing on Lebanon, Egypt, Greece, and Cyprus. The research examines the impact of regional conflicts, economic difficulties, and EU policies on migration flows, as well as an assessment of border control measures and the socio-economic factors driving displacement in each country. In addition, the study provides insights into the migration management strategies adopted by these countries and the complex dynamics influencing migration patterns and policy responses.\

The similarities, challenges, and differences between migration trends and policy responses are further analyzed in the synthesis report, which provides a comparative analysis across the studied countries. Policy briefs for each country highlight the key recommendations.​\
