VAGUE FUTURE OF THE EU IMMIGRATION POLICY EXTERNAL DIMENSION
( Pp. 32-39)

The article provides the analysis of the “external dimension” migration policy of the European Union. The purpose of the study was to assess the potential of the “external dimension” for managing international migration in the interests of the European Union both in relatively favorable and crisis conditions to determine the possibilities of its application in the future. To achieve this goal, the article provides an overview of the evolution of the “external dimension”, an assessment of the resources available to the EU for the implementation of the “external dimension” and a description of the difficulties accompanying its implementation. Conclusions: Implementation of the “external dimension” of the EU's immigration policy faces a number of difficulties, including the lack of financial resources during crises, the lack of effective incentives for third countries to bear additional burdens in the EU interests, the need to coordinate the actions and conflicting interests among different actors and levels of governance, etc. Despite the difficulties, “external dimension” became one of the priority areas in the EU immigration policy as a result of the 2014-2016 migration crisis. However, the EU immigration policy in general needs to be updated but the EU is not able to provide any innovative migration governance solutions. Therefore, the EU may find it increasingly difficult to expand its cooperation with third countries for common migration governance in future. In case of protracted crisis and the lack of progress in updating the EU immigration policy, the future of its “external dimension” seems to be vague.
