“…Explicitly or implicitly, most accounts of recent crises link up with this motive and investigate the conditions under which crisis prompts integration. Whether adopting an intergovernmentalist (Biermann et al, 2017), a neofunctionalist (Schimmelfennig, 2018), a 'failing forward' (Scipioni, 2017) or a postfunctionalist perspective (Börzel and Risse, 2018), these analyses converge on the assertion that, unlike for the euro area, no meaningful integration steps resulted from the CEAS crisis. Comparing both cases, Schimmelfennig (2018) states that Member States' failure 'to agree on substantial integration progress' in migration policy is mainly due to the weakness of transnational demand and the absence of supranational actors capable of technocratic solutionssuch as, for the euro, the European Central Bank.…”

Exposing the ideological conflicts involved in the creation of a Common European Asylum Policy, this article calls for an extension of classic integration theories to look beyond whether crises result in ‘more’ or ‘less’ Europe and to address the substance of European integration. Drawing on actor‐centered institutionalism and organizational sociology, the ‘refugee crisis’ is interpreted as a manifestation of the growing mismatch between the EU's normative striving towards a ‘Union of values’ and the political and institutional limits imposed. The result is organized hypocrisy: the concurrent reinforcement of protective claims and protectionist policies.

“…Biermann et al . () argue that states with a low number of refugees have no interest in the reform of a system that serves them well. By analysing the establishment of asylum institutions in the 2000s, Parkes (, p. 69) describes how northern member states mobilize their interests in the EC to block most attempts to deepen the CEAS.…”

“…Based on these assumptions for states and refugees, we model the provision dilemma of humanitarian protection as a European public good. Previous work demonstrates that European asylum policy resembles a prisoner's dilemma (Noll, , ) or a Rambo or suasion game (Biermann et al, ). Whereas the former stresses that the mutual interaction of rational states undermines the provision of humanitarian protection, the latter proposes that asymmetrical power relations between states incentivizes less affected states to avoid cooperation.…”

Humanitarian Protection as a European Public Good: The Strategic Role of States and Refugees

The surge of refugees arriving in Europe has accentuated the malfunctioning of the common European asylum system: the lack of coordination between nation states and failure in the common protection of refugees were the main outcomes of the so-called refugee crisis. This article builds on the literature on public goods and policy compliance in order to explain the failure of European countries to provide humanitarian protection to refugees. A sequential gametheoretical model serves to demonstrate the strategic interaction between states and refugees in European asylum policy. The analysis demonstrates that although both groups of actors benefit from a functioning European asylum system, they also have few incentives to contribute to the public good. States aim to reduce their individual refugee burden and refugees seek protection in their preferred destination country. The findings suggest that an effective provision of refugee protection requires both member states and refugees to contribute mutually to the public good.

“…39 A European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG) accountable to the European Parliament and composed of mandatory national contingents has a mandate for border control, coordination with national coastal guards, and rescue missions, albeit short of giving the agency the right to return migrants and deploy coastal guards. 40 Postfunctionalism places the migration crisis in the context of domestic politicization in order to explain why transnational pressure was weak and why so many governments were unwilling to system, which would include a permanent relocation scheme at times of crisis, are deadlocked (Paravicini and Herszenhorn 2018;Biermann et al 2017: 14; Börzel and Risse 2018; Schimmelfennig 2018a; Zaun 2018). 35 Niemann and Speyer 2018; Niemann and Zaun 2018; Scipioni 2017.…”

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, created in 1992 and currently directed by Professor Brigid Laffan, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research on the major issues facing the process of European integration, European societies and Europe's place in 21st century global politics. The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes, projects and data sets, in addition to a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration, the expanding membership of the European Union, developments in Europe's neighbourhood and the wider world.
