EU MIGRATION AND ASYLUM LAW:
Chair of European Public Law
EU Migration and Asylum Law
 
LECTURER
 
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
One of the main phenomena and challenges the EU is facing nowadays is migration, both in the form of legal migration and refugee inflows. Migration and asylum systems of the EU Member States have been undergoing substantial changes in order to address these challenges while the EU’s impact on this policy area is continuing to grow and go beyond the minimum legislative standards. The Course will launch an informed discussion on EU migration law and policy and provide an insight into its internal and external dimension. The topic will be approached in an interdisciplinary manner by addressing the legal dimension of migration in its political, social, economic and historical context. The dynamics of EU migration discourse will be understood by taking into consideration its politicization and securitisation. By the end of the course its participants will gain advanced understanding of the actors and instruments of EU migration and asylum law.
