The Polysemy of Skills
This paper investigates how the concept of “skills” operates as a malleable governance instrument in EU policy, allowing for coordination despite diverse national priorities. Analyzing National Implementation Plans (NIPs) of the Osnabrück Declaration, we examine how Germany, France, Sweden, and Spain interpret and operationalize skill formation through nationally specific lenses. Despite being a least‐likely case for ambiguity, the NIPs reveal st…

Policy change and the persuasive potential of polysemic ideas
This article examines the persuasive potential of polysemic ideas in contexts where powerful actors are needed to generate new policy decisions or non-incremental changes to existing policies. Polysemic ideas are those characterised by ambiguity, allowing for multiple interpretations, and consequently adaptability to new environments (Cino Pagliarello, 2022a). However, we argue that there is a paucity of empirical cases, especially cases pointing…
Is Australia a Model for the UK? A Critical Assessment of Parallels of Cruelty in Refugee Externalization Policies
For several years, Australia has been regarded by some politicians and observers in Europe as a model for hard-line policies towards refugees. At the same time, Australia’s implementation of refugee externalization measures has been subject to considerable scholarly attention and critique. Although the Australian approach has featured prominently in political debates in several European states, this article analyses the implications of a possible…
Ideas and crisis in policy and administration
The study of ideas and crisis in public policy and administration has generated two literatures with shared interests, but often distinct approaches. In this Symposium introduction, we argue that crisis studies and the “ideas school” have much to learn from each other. To facilitate cross‐pollination, this article reviews key insights from the two literatures with relevance across the divide. In our view, crisis studies offer important parameters…
Cooperation beyond deterrence
Notwithstanding their geographical distance, the EU and Australia have pursued similar externalization and deterrence strategies to manage asylum arrivals. Although these policies have failed to address the protection needs of asylum seekers, this article suggests that the EU and Australia could better coordinate their efforts to promote human rights and refugee protection in a region that is of mutual strategic interest. With the provisional imp…
The failure of regional refugee protection and responsibility sharing
The concurrent refugee crises affecting the European Union (EU) and the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) brought to the fore long-standing issues regarding regional cooperation on refugee protection and responsibility sharing. This article argues that these crises are a culmination of years of policy neglect. By comparing the EU and ASEAN, this article demonstrates the weaknesses of regional bodies in responding to refugee challeng…
