European Migration Law

Daniel Thym

This title provides a comprehensive overview of European migration law. More than three dozen directives and regulations are discussed throughout this volume, together with numerous court judgments, international treaties, reform proposals, and factual developments. This careful inspection of EU legislation and cases is accompanied by analyses of domestic and international developments, as well as contextual factors influencing the real world of migratory movements. Across eighteen chapters, Daniel Thym discusses core features of visas and border controls, asylum and legal migration, integration and return, association agreements, and international cooperation.

The work consists of two parts. In the first, Thym analyses the general framework behind EU migration rules and how these are distinguished from the constitutional rules governing free movement of EU citizens, including the significance of human rights and the role of the European Convention on Human Rights. In the second part, Thym explores the substance of EU migration law through a thematic lens, focusing on entry into EU territory, border controls on land and sea, and the human rights component of illegal migration and asylum.
