The EU Migration System and Global Justice: An Introduction
No full textThe so-called migration crisis of 2015 and the policies undertaken in Europe thereafter have posed a number of normative and ethical issues: to what extent can the policies used to cope with the phenomenon be reasonably deemed ‘just’? Just for whom? Does the EU’s management of migration live up to the principles of global justice? And which understanding of global justice? Ultimately, what are the political and normative implications for the EU which has long been described as a sui generis polity? This introduction sets the stage for this analysis, clarifying the characteristics of what can be labelled as the EU Migration System of Governance, and spelling out three main understandings of global justice, each with its own justice claims and policy prescriptions. The current role of the EU in the management of migration, it is here claimed, is the result of the compounded nature of the system of governance and of the friction among competing justice claims. The compass to navigate such uncharted ethical waters can only be found in the coherent respect for human rights
The EU Migration System and Global Justice: An Assessment
No full textThe response of the European Union Migration System of Governance (EUMSG) to the so called migration crisis of 2015-6 has been characterised by practices of paralysis, bordering and externalization. Though not new to the functioning of the EUMSG such practices have been enhanced and stabilised, as a result of the peculiar governance of the system. Leader states, frontliners and periferic countries have all given their contribution not only to the substantive governance of the system, but also to a shift towards a westphalian understanding of justice which gives priority to state sovereignty over the protection of human and specific needs. Trapped between EU level, national and human rights concerns, the EU and state actors in the system have produced results which have been detrimental to the EU’s international credibility as a right-based global actor

The Search for a European identity. Values, Policies and Legitimacy of the European Union
No full textThis book examines the link between political identity and legitimacy in the European Union, and more precisely of the EU. Stimulated by the present crisis of legitimacy and identity suffered by the EU after the referenda on the Constitutional Treaty, the editors have developed a theoretical framework to examine the interplay between legitimacy and identity in the development of the EU into a full-fledged political actor. The editors examine these concepts jointly, specifically focussing on their connection and also consider the deeper cultural and moral layers from which a would-be polity such as the EU draws its justification and looks at the role played by symbols and memories.The authors seek to: redefine the key notions in the rigorous way of political philosophy, thus avoiding the generic or imprecise language usage found in a large part of political science literature on identity, and test these concepts in the analysis of EU policies that may reveal the world views and the principles upon which EU legislation is based, and also asks what impact those policies have in the perception of the European public, and how far they help develop a shared political identity and a justification for the growing role played by EU institutions inside and outside the continent.Featuring case studies on environmental policy, biosafety policy, biotechnology regulation, civil society, human rights promotion and democracy, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of political science, political philosophy, European politics and European Studies.
