The Europeanization of Refugee Policies: Normative Challenges and Institutional Legacies
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: Under the Treaty of Amsterdam, and in response to the experience of the Kosovo refugee crisis, the establishment of a Common European Asylum System has become a priority in the European Union. This project constitutes a major departure from the former transgovernmental mode of co‐operation in asylum matters and addresses a normative question embedded in national constitutions and international notions of human rights. In this article I examine the institutional and normative challenges facing the integration of this highly political policy field by highlighting the contradictions inherent in domestic reforms and the Europeanization of refugee policy.
