Abstract: 

After presenting the context behind the content analysis of the European Union’s Mobility Partnerships with Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia this report articulates policy proposals to render the partnerships more relevant to the needs of those fleeing desolation for the hoped for nirvana of Europe. It discusses the strengths and some of the weaknesses of the three partnerships, setting EU’s migration challenge within a broader context. To avert the continuous perversity of transforming the Mediterranean Sea into an edgeless cemetery, proposals relevant for European political masters are advanced.
