Summary
This title provides a comprehensive overview of European migration law.
More than three dozen directives and regulations are discussed
throughout this volume, together with numerous court judgments,
international treaties, reform proposals, and factual developments. This
careful inspection of EU legislation and cases is accompanied by
analyses of domestic and international developments, as well as
contextual factors influencing the real world of migratory movements.
Across eighteen chapters, Daniel Thym discusses core features of visas
and border controls, asylum and legal migration, integration and return,
association agreements, and international cooperation.
The work
consists of two parts. In the first part, Thym provides an analysis of
the general framework behind the EU rules of migration and how these are
distinguished from the constitutional rules governing the free movement
of European Union citizens. Central to this part is a discussion on the
significance of human rights in immigration policy-making and the role
that the European Convention on Human Rights and other international
instruments play in the protection of migrant and asylum rights. In the
second part of the book, Thym explores the substance of EU migration law
approached through a thematic, rather than chronological, lens. These
chapters focus on the legislation surrounding entry into EU territory,
border controls on land and sea, and the human rights component of
illegal migration and asylum.
