The EU migration and refugee crisis has acutely revealed the limits of the Schengen and Dublin systems as well as national reticence to build a European migration and asylum policy. If Europe is not up to the task, can international organizations (IOs), often those that are critical of European states for their inaction, impulse change? What influence do IOs have on EU and Mediterranean migration and refugee policies?
