Description

Looking into three cases – the energy climate package, economic governance
reform and Schengen reform - this article argues that patterns of interactions between the the European Council and the Commission in legislative agenda setting can be best described as ‘competitive cooperation’. Abstract

Explains the visa liberalisation process with Turkey through the argumentative strength of the European Commission as well as the existence of a coalition between the Commission and the Danish Council Presidency. Abstract

This article develops a theoretical and conceptual model of how immigration policy is potentially harmonized at the EU level and how this harmonization can be blocked or restricted by national-level factors. Abstract

Argues that a venue-shopping framework is best suited to account for the timing, form and content of European co-operation in the area of migration and asylum policy. Abstract


Compares the strategies and objectives of advocacy NGOs working in the immigration & asylum  and human rights areas, respectively, and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each.​ Abstract
