(2024) STVK12 20241Department of Political Science
- Abstract
- This thesis is about European integration, reflected in the problem representations made by the European Union concerning asylum from the Dublin III Regulation (2013) and the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (2020). To uncover the problem representation, Carol Bacchi's ‘What is the Problem represented to be’ has been adopted as the primary method, followed by a descriptive/comparative analysis. By highlighting the problem representations and changes made in asylum policy, the research aims to understand what important ‘truths’ and assumptions are made by the European Union. The research will adopt a poststructuralist theoretical framework, in line with Bacchi’s analytical framework. It will uncover the power structures presented... (More)
- This thesis is about European integration, reflected in the problem representations made by the European Union concerning asylum from the Dublin III Regulation (2013) and the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (2020). To uncover the problem representation, Carol Bacchi's ‘What is the Problem represented to be’ has been adopted as the primary method, followed by a descriptive/comparative analysis. By highlighting the problem representations and changes made in asylum policy, the research aims to understand what important ‘truths’ and assumptions are made by the European Union. The research will adopt a poststructuralist theoretical framework, in line with Bacchi’s analytical framework. It will uncover the power structures presented by the European Union in their ability to create ‘problems’ in policy, and what gives them validity. The analysis reveals how the European Union identifies ‘problems’ with asylum and how these developed between the two Regulations in light of various political and historical factors. The overall findings reveal that the European Union included solidarity, fewer human rights provisions, and changed the obligations for asylum applicants upon proposing the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation. Ultimately the thesis concludes that the separate interests of the Member States’ have more significant influence over how the EU has to operate. (Less)
