| Title | Towards a Common Immigration Policy for the EU: The Role of the European Court of Justice |
| Summary | Abstract The question on which this paper sheds light concerns the role of the ECJ in influencing the development of a common EU immigration policy. More specifically, this research seeks to understand the extent to which ECJ decisions that deviate from the status quo (previous case law) regarding Union citizenship, free movement, and family reunification have an effect on the development of a common EU immigration policy. Using process tracing, this research focuses on the controversial ECJ decisions in the Akrich and Metock cases, demonstrating a severe challenge to the status quo of the existing case law. Ultimately, this research looks for evidence of policy change as a means of coping with changes in the status quo at the member state and EU level. |
