Présentation par l'éditeur
During the past decade the European Union has developed the foundations of a common migration policy by harmonising national immigration and asylum laws and introducing new instruments. Despite some remarkable achievements European policy-makers have struggled to build a conceptual basis for migration policy. The Stockholm Program on the future of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice underlines the need for continued critical reflection about the conceptual foundations and legal challenges of European migration law. This collection of essays by young and promising European lawyers from different national and academic backgrounds supports an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of European migration law, reflecting the political, economic and sociological context of legal rules governing the international movement of people. Since European migration law is a relatively new area of European law-making, young scholars are in a particularly good position to enhance our understanding of recent developments in and future challenges of the construction of European migration law.
This bilingual volume comprises a selection of the revised versions of papers first presented at the 7th International Workshop for Young Scholars (WISH) / 7ème Rencontre Internationale des Jeunes Chercheurs (RIJC). It was held at Humboldt University in Berlin on 14 15 November 2008 on the theme ‘Europe – a Continent of Immigration?’ / ‘Europe : un continent d’immigration ?’. It was organised by the European Law Journal, together with the Walter-Hallstein-Institute for European Constitution Law at Humboldt University and the Centre d’Études et de Recherches Internationales et Communautaires (CERIC - CNRS - UMR 6201) of the Université Paul Cézanne Aix-Marseille III. WISH/RIJC is an annual conference which seeks to bring together the most promising young scholars in specific fields of European law from universities of the EU Member States, candidate countries, and other countries in North and South America, the Middle East, Africa or Asia, including the United States, Canada, and China. Its objective is to identify and discuss themes which are likely to be the most significant topics of research in the field of European law in the first half of the 21st century.
