Still beyond fortress Europe? patterns and pathways in EU migration policy

Abstract

This paper explores the impact on European governance of contemporary developments in patterns of European migration. It shows that a conceptual and geo-political widening of migration mean that it now affects all EU member states while also presenting particular challenges because of the emergence of new forms of migration. These are shown to present particular dilemmas for European governance, such as the asymmetrical impact of the evolving migration policy framework, the 'incompleteness' of European integration in this area, and the increased salience of anti-discrimination issues.
