Common European Immigration Policy Versus National Interests: Case Study of Italy and Poland
Šmídová, Michaela ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Hauser, Jan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the development of common immigration policy in the EU in relation to the member states, who are often blamed for the slow progress in the realization of common policy aims. Two member states, Italy and Poland, are analysed in their approaches towards the common immigration policy. Focus is put on the examination of their national influence in the field of migration and its compatibility with the EU approach. The conclusion states a significant influence which the member states have on the development of the common immigration policy, especially in their accentuation of the restrictive character of migration policies. This has been typical of Italian approach until recently. Polish situation is different because of its only recent accession to the EU before which it had to harmonize its migration legislation with acquis communitaire. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
