The Europeanisation of Refugee Policies: Between Human Rights and Internal Security
Year: 2002
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Almost fifteen years after the beginning of intergovernmental cooperation in asylum and immigration matters, the establishment of a common European asylum system has become a priority in the European Union. This priority has its legal base in the Treaty of Amsterdam, which defines common asylum and refugee policies as central elements in the development of an "area of freedom, security and justice". Its political background rests with the enduring politicisation of asylum seekers in the member states and recent experiences with massive refugee flows in the context of the Yugoslav crisis. This title was first published in 2001. Taking a multilevel perspective on the Europeanization of refugee policies, this innovative work highlights the entanglement between domestic asylum reforms.
