Migration and the New European Enlargement: Bulgaria and Romania
A one-day conference 18 May 2007, Friday
London School of Economics, Main Building, A316

This international conference will be dedicated to the timely and highly
contested issues of Bulgarian and Romanian migration following the two
countries' EU accession in January this year. Particular emphasis will
be placed on those related to pre-accession political debates on
migration and post-accession realities; the security of borders in
South-East Europe and the home countries' perspectives on regarding the
effects of emigration.

The main questions for discussion will be: How grounded those fears of
mass outmigration from the two countries were some four and a half
months ago, following the EU accession? Should Europe fear 'soft
borders' in the Balkans? How true it is that the main smuggling and
trafficking routes cross the region? Who gains and who loses from
migration?  And how the two sending countries are affected by
emigration.
