The article discusses the increasing roles of Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) and EU investment policies in Asia development. During the past decades, China has increased their positions of global investment with the strategic plan to facilitate regional and country development in Asia. EU also has a long history of assisting countries in Asia to achieve development. The EU and EU countries involved with investment and assistance projects in Asia countries to raise countries’ development levels. With the two sides of the world- China and EU, there are increasing cooperation under a global policy of BRI and the Indo-Pacific cooperation. However, there is also the concern of the worldwide influence from both China and the EU in Asia. The article thus argues that while there is a concern of global influence from investment under BRI policy and EU-Indo Pacific, there are opportunities to bridge those policies to facilitate the developments in Asia. The article points out some policy implications on global investments for sustainable development within BRI and Indo- Pacific cooperation. Received: 22 April 2022Accepted: 08 February 2023

Desde la entrada en vigor del Tratado de Lisboa, la Unión Europea desarrolla una política integrada en materia de medio ambiente y energía que le posibilita adoptar medidas para hacer frente de manera conjunta a los retos que plantean el cambio climático y la seguridad de abastecimiento energético. Actualmente, la Unión Europea se encuentra en el proceso que le lleve a cumplir sus compromisos en materia de clima y energía previstos para 2030. Dichos objetivos se fijaron inicialmente en 2014 pero desde entonces se han visto ampliados en varias ocasiones. Las razones han sido diferentes: en primer lugar, el irregular grado de cumplimiento de los objetivos para 2020; posteriormente, el objetivo de neutralidad climática propuesto en 2018 y el Pacto Verde Europeo adoptado para su consecución y cuyo desarrollo se inició en 2020; finalmente, el complicado contexto geopolítico de 2022.

The concept of “strategic autonomy” embeds the political idea of “independence” and the legal notion of “sovereignty”. As the EU largely depends for energy on foreign resources, particularly from autocratic regimes, difficult governance situations, notably wars, can deeply disrupt the Union’s energy supply. Specifically, war in Ukraine has been convincingly explained as an affirmation of the opposed development of Russia’s “sphere of influence”, whereby energy supply is used as a “weapon” to create dependency across sovereign State borders. Whereas scholars have advanced a dichotomy for the EU and its Member States to escape Russia’s sphere of influence, either diversifying energy sources or accelerating the green transition, it is argued in this paper that the two approaches should be considered complementary rather than alternative. It is therefore suggested that, at least in the short term, the EU and its Member States should seek to diversify their energy sources, whilst at the same time trying to accelerate the green transition under the Green Deal as a longer-term strategy. As the EU and its Member States should qualify as “non-belligerent” vis-à-vis Russia, necessity seems the most suitable legal justification to relinquish already contracted energy supply obligations and move to a newly balanced energy policy.

La Unión Europea (UE) inició el año 2023 con una agenda de objetivos y retos condicionada por la guerra en Ucrania y sus consecuencias. El impacto del conflicto ha evidenciado la necesidad de alcanzar la independencia energética, aumentar las capacidades de defensa y avanzar en materia de asilo, ámbitos en los que la UE tendrá que continuar dando pasos importantes en los próximos meses en la línea de los adoptados en 2022. Además, el año 2023 constituye el último tramo del actual ciclo institucional europeo, antes de las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo en mayo de 2024, así como el último año en el que estarán disponibles los fondos del Next Generation EU para los Estados miembros. Por parte de España, su política europea estará determinada por el ejercicio de la Presidencia del Consejo de la UE durante el segundo semestre de 2023. Desde esta posición, España asume la responsabilidad de impulsar las negociaciones y lograr los consensos necesarios en los ámbitos prioritarios de trabajo de la UE, como son la transición ecológica, la transformación digital y la agenda social, entre otros. Así mismo, la quinta presidencia española del Consejo de la UE coincidirá con un momento clave en la implementación de los planes nacionales de recuperación, ya que, como se ha mencionado anteriormente, para finales de 2023 los recursos europeos asignados deberán estar totalmente comprometidos. Con estas perspectivas y en un contexto geopolítico todavía incierto y cambiante, este número misceláneo 68/2023 de Cuadernos Europeos de Deusto incluye diversas contribuciones que abordan algunos de los desafíos más relevantes que encara actualmente la UE, en particular, el de la crisis climática y energética.

Migrant smuggling is a highly complex criminal phenomenon. Clearly cross-border in nature, smuggling frequently involves the participation of organized criminal groups. A coherent approach to these activities requires a clear and correctly implemented regulation, in the case of the EU the reference regulation is the ‘Facilitators’ package’. In the present contribution several controversies that this framework entails will be pointed out, especially the excessive criminalization and the neglect of the human rights perspective. Furthermore, the eradication of smuggling requires the sum of efforts and coordinated action of different actors such as national authorities and European agencies. In this paper some actions carried out by Europol in the Mediterranean will be studied. Focusing on the role of this law enforcement agency in the hotspots, the contribution of the information gathered and the benefits for Eurojust will be evaluated.

Modern slavery—denoting acute exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain—is said to affect nearly 50 million people around the globe, making it a global issue that requires coordinated crosssectoral and integrated responses. Some efforts have been made to that effect, including through an emerging legislative regulation at domestic and regional levels. Migrants, in particular those with unsettled status, are particularly vulnerable to modern forms of slavery due to manifold enabling circumstances, including the lack of, or capacity to offer them, protection or limited access to legitimate forms of employment or social protection. However, global responses to migrant smuggling and irregular migrants are in stark contrast to the commitments made to address modern slavery. The increasing focus on the securitisation of migration obscures the underlying social, economic and political ‘push’ factors that fuel modern slavery. Thus, a more comprehensive response is needed that examines the issues of migration management, market regulation and development more widely. This paper uses a comparative lens to examine global developments in regulating labour-related forms of modern slavery vis-à-vis migration management in the context of achieving sustainable development goals.

Separating children traveling accompanied by a nonfamily adult is a current practice serving the general purpose of fighting against sexual exploitation, minor trafficking, or general crime prevention. However, such a routine response could violate a minor’s right to family life or preclude an attempted migration to reunification. Although no specific normative framework exists for this migratory category, we will draw our analysis of the conflicting interests by resorting to human rights case law. On the one hand, the expansion of the legally recognized concept of family must help protect interpersonal bonds not based on biological relationships, according to the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. On the other hand, restrictions to the right to family life can be taken for fighting against crime, although a goal of general prevention may not comply with human rights standards on the limitation of rights. The required balance between conflicting interests can be established by resorting to the best interests of the minor. To conclude, we argue that this category could certainly benefit from a concerted, common legislative action at the level of the European Union when revisiting the migration legal regime, alongside operational measures at national, regional, and local levels.

Following the previous informal Italy-Libya and EU-Turkey agreements, Malta concluded its own Memorandum of Understanding with Libya to establish two coordination centres in Tripoli and Malta, fully funded by Malta in May 2020. In our paper, we will frame this non-legally binding agreement within the strategy of the EU and its Member States to cooperate with Libya in the deterritorialisation of migration management to reduce the number of migrants and asylum seekers arriving at Europe’s external borders. We will analyse the legal implications, both formal and material concerns, that exist in the application of this Memorandum, starting with the informalisation of cooperation and the deterritorialisation of migration management, and its effects on human rights and the possible international responsibility that it may entail.

Solidarity is widely present in European Union legislation. Several primary law provisions reflect its articulation, simultaneously assuming it as a value, an objective and a principle. Article 80 TFEU provides that the principle of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility between Member States is the “guiding principle” of all common Union policies on border management, asylum, and immigration. Despite all this, solidarity has so far lacked a clear definition and meaning, appearing rather as an “amorphous concept”. Indeed, political narrative recognises solidarity as “the glue that holds our Union together”. However, in practice and as far as asylum is concerned, the conception according to which “solidarity must be given voluntarily, it must come from the heart, it cannot be forced” seems to prevail. By critically reviewing the relevant literature and the CJEU’s jurisprudence, this paper pursues a twofold purpose: examining the doctrinal debates on the nature, scope and (abstract or binding) character of the solidarity principle; and gauging the role that the CJEU may be playing towards an effective solidarity, uncovering the constitutional bases that prevent from continuing to treat solidarity, in its multiple manifestations and policy areas, in particular that of asylum, as little less than the stone guest.
