Abstract

Migration and asylum elicit intense debate in the EU. The Commission's New Pact for Migration and Asylum 2020 sought to diffuse some of the divisive issues among Member States by proposing a series of measures, mainly directed at diminishing asylum arrivals. In this article I argue that there is a profound incoherence at the centre of this policy, which is its embrace of the nineteenth-century theoretical framework of migration as driven by push and pull factors. While EU statistics provided by Frontex and Eurostat reveal that hundreds of millions of third-country nationals are welcomed to the EU each year as tourists but also as students, workers, etc., and a few hundred thousand are treated as unwanted, EU policy is still dominated by a framing of people as pushed and pulled to the detriment of the host state rather than as an essential element of the European way of life.

促进欧洲生活方式:欧盟的移民和庇护
移民和庇护问题在欧盟内部引发了激烈的争论。委员会的《2020年移民和庇护新公约》提出了一系列措施,主要针对减少抵达庇护者,旨在消除会员国之间的一些分歧问题。在这篇文章中,我认为这一政策的核心存在着深刻的不一致性,即它接受了19世纪由推拉因素驱动的移民理论框架。欧盟边境管理局(Frontex)和欧盟统计局(Eurostat)提供的欧盟统计数据显示,每年有数亿第三国公民以游客、学生、工人等身份来到欧盟,其中几十万人被视为不受欢迎的,但欧盟的政策仍然被一种框架所主导,即人们被推来拉去,损害东道国的利益,而不是作为欧洲生活方式的重要组成部分。

期刊介绍: The European Law Journal represents an authoritative new approach to the study of European Law, developed specifically to express and develop the study and understanding of European law in its social, cultural, political and economic context. It has a highly reputed board of editors. The journal fills a major gap in the current literature on all issues of European law, and is essential reading for anyone studying or practising EU law and its diverse impact on the environment, national legal systems, local government, economic organizations, and European citizens. As well as focusing on the European Union, the journal also examines the national legal systems of countries in Western, Central and Eastern Europe and relations between Europe and other parts of the world, particularly the United States, Japan, China, India, Mercosur and developing countries. The journal is published in English but is dedicated to publishing native language articles and has a dedicated translation fund available for this purpose. It is a refereed journal.
