Season 2 Episode 3: The Political Economy of Migration from the Southern Border to the Mediterranean
Max Mavian sits down with Professor Anna Maria Mayda and current SAIS student Massimo Guglietta to discuss the political economy of migration in the United States and in Europe. As the European Union signs a new billion euro deal with Egypt, the disconnect between economics and politics are back on the agenda.
The aggregate gains from migration are uncontroversial among economists. Yet, governments are obligated to respond to the political consequences, where migratory flows from the global south fuel right-wing populism.
Professor Mayda and Massimo discuss how the Biden administration navigates migration policy and then how the European Union is managing the migrant crisis.
