“…While they had implemented the CEAS acquis successfully in preparation for EU accession (Interview_PermRep_3/2012), none of them had a history of receiving asylum-seekers. The V4 modelled their asylum systems around those of Germany and Austria, and did not advance positions on EU asylum directives that deviated much from those of these two countries (Interview_Perm-Rep_3/2012; Byrne et al, 2004).…”

This article explains recent changes in the negotiation dynamics concerning EU asylum policies, the policy failure in the Common European Asylum System and the deadlock in its post-2016 reform. Combining the Core State Power framework with the literature on punctuated equilibria and bounded rationality, it argues that EU asylum policies have important redistributive implications. In earlier phases, these were concealed by a regulatory policymaking approach which depoliticized EU legislation in that area. The 2015 asylum crisis demonstrated that this approach failed to produce the expected integration and entailed an even unfairer distribution of asylumseekers, hence leading to information updating among Member States. Together with the ascent of right-wing populism in many Member States, this has fundamentally changed the negotiation dynamics from a situation with a few dominant Member States to a highly politicized environment in which previously passive Member States acted either as promoters or as blockers, thus producing deadlock.

“…Although not legally binding, the London Resolution was of significant political importance and paved the way for the implementation of such rules on national legislations that would later be codified in supranational legislation at the level of the EU. Several academics have analysed the consequent externalization of EU asylum policy from Western to EastCentral Europe, as more powerful core member states of the EU (Germany, France) first applied readmission agreements and safe third country rules to the former socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe (Collinson, 1996;Lavenex, 1999;Byrne et al 2004). On one instance, the chain of readmissions led to the refoulement of Bosnian refugees, who were deported from Sweden to Croatia under a safe third country rule and readmission agreement, and then returned to Bosnia from Croatia (Collinson, 1996: 85).…”

“…With the exception of the state-organized transportation of migrants to the Austrian border in 2015 following the first march of hope, the Hungarian government has followed the European Union policy of deterring and deporting asylum seekers. The policy transfer is not, however, one-directional: as Byrne et al (2004) point out in their comprehensive study on EU asylum policy prior to the eastern enlargement in early 2000s, sub-regional dynamics have significantly effected the form of the asylum acquis.…”

1In this article, I locate the efforts of the Hungarian government to close its borders to migrants in the broader context of externalization of European Union asylum policy. I draw on Martina Tazzioli's conceptualization of the production of temporary, divisive migrant multiplicities in border zones in ethnographically presenting the conditions of two protest marches of migrants. I suggest that the relative successes and failures of these marches, one of which resulted in a temporary rupture in Hungary's adherence to EU border policy, relate to the presence or absence of biopolitical border controls and techniques of externalization that stand in parallel with long-term developments of EU border control. In this context, I also question the extent to which an emergence of a collective subject is contingent upon local support, on one hand, and imaginations of the border, on the other. I argue that the analysis of Hungarian state's border control, as well as efforts to counter it, must be situated in the historical development of the EU border policy.

the article aims to examine how the establishment of asylum systems has evolved into a requirement for accession to the European Union for the countries in the Western Balkans and the rationale underlying this. the requirements of international law concerning fair and efficient asylum procedures are also discussed with reference to the requirement under the European Union acquis relating to asylum of a full and inclusive application of the 1951 convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Furthermore, the legality of asylum conditionality in the context of accession to the European Union is looked at and an examination made of the progress achieved to date in the four countries in the region that have functioning asylum procedures.Keywords Asylum · Enlargement · Western Balkans 1) lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon, former High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. evidence to the House of lords, 53 rd report, session 2005-6, Hl paper 273.
