Mauro Fazzari: The external dimension of the European Union's asylum policy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Today, the whole point of such a policy lies in protecting persecuted populations across the globe. Since the early 2000s, the European Union has been trying to create a more uniform asylum system, but Member States nevertheless retain control over their national systems. This is why the treatment of refugees varies enormously across Europe. It is therefore worth considering the question of whether the externalisation of the Union's asylum policy, as a shared competence, may undermine its effectiveness. Effectiveness is understood here as the application of the legal norm, and thus as the production, through that legal norm, of effects consistent with the objectives it pursues. We shall therefore seek to explain the phenomenon of the externalisation of the Union's asylum policy (I), before highlighting the limitations of the current Common European Asylum System (II).
