GAPs aims to decentre the dominant, one-sided understanding of \u2018return policymaking\u2019 by bringing multiple perspectives into play and studying the complex interaction of diverse actors (including migrants themselves) involved in the return processes; scrutinizing gaps and shortcomings in the governance of returns, with both its internal and external dimensions; and devoting specific attention to the study of practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GAPs is a comprehensive study on the drivers of return policies and barriers\/enablers in international cooperation on returns. The project examines the disconnects between expectations of return policies and their actual outcomes by de-centering the dominant, one-sided understanding of \u201creturn policymaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
