The Emperor without Clothes? Explaining the Choice for a Flexible Solidarity Mechanism proposed in the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation
Krämer, Damian ; Ciornei, Irina (vedoucí práce) ; Tacik, Przemyslaw (oponent)
During the so-called "refugee crisis," when the Dublin system of refugee allocation failed, the Commission unsuccessfully attempted to establish a legislative framework for solidarity-based relocation. By proposing legal flexibility in its initiative for a Regulation on Asylum and Migration Management, the new von der Leyen Commission has resurrected the issue and brought it back on the legislative agenda. However, it appears to be counterintuitive that the Commission has proposed this regulation as it would constitute a dis-integrative step departing from policymaking through robust and uniform legal arrangements. But why did the Commission nevertheless decide to initiate such a proposal? This puzzle will be addressed in this Master's thesis by applying a novel perspective that attempts to explain the Commission's motivations in light of dis-integration and compliance research applied to the Commission's peculiarities. Its considerations will be examined through a qualitative content analysis. The findings suggest that the Commission sees controlled dis-integration as the lesser evil and that it is heavily constraint by the interests of other actors giving much importance to a vocal minority against uniform relocation legislations.

The crisis of political parties in France: The presidentialization process and its' effects on representative democracy

In most European countries, party democracy - political parties as pillars of representative democracy - are commonly accepted. Political parties exist to animate political life and political debate. They mediate between the people and the government. They represent the people and their varying opinions and, in this way, assure their participation in politics and policymaking. Despite their importance, formerly well-established parties have been claimed to be in an "existential crisis" (Morin, Perron 2020, p. 7) in many countries for several decades. New, highly presidentialized political movements, often with populist and even radical tendencies, tend to take the lead. Over time, scholars of different nationalities have established a list of factors for this crisis of party democracy, such as corruption scandals, intransparency, non- compliance of election pledges, arrogance, the lack of willingness of politicians to take certain needs and claims of the people more seriously, a crisis of representation, as evoked by the French scholar Rosanvallon, a lack of direct participation of the citizens, or, more broadly, a democratic deficit (Balme, Marie & Rozenberg 2003; Van der Meer, 2017; Grossman/Sauger, 2017; Cole et al. 2018; Mayer 2019; Selinger 2020). In this thesis, I hypothesize that an additional...
