This study examines the shifting significance of Syrian and Ukrainian refugees in response to distinct migration shocks within the European Union (EU). It delves into the complex interplay between migration crises stemming from the Syrian conflict (2011) and the Ukrainian crisis (2022) and their impact on EU migration policy. Through comparative analysis, it aims to uncover the complex dynamics shaping policy adaptations in response to these crises. By focusing on the EU’s responses, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of crisis-driven policy evolution. The study’s methodology involves qualitative analysis of various sources, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted impact of migration crises on EU migration policy. The findings not only enrich academic discourse but also offer practical insights for policymakers and practitioners engaged in migration governance. Ultimately, this research enhances migration governance strategies and informs ongoing discussions on migration policy within the EU and globally.
