| Title | The Concept of Solidarity in the European Union's Asylum Policy |
| Summary | Refugee protection is not only an individual responsibility of the countries, but it a global obligation of the international community. The concept of solidarity is a globally recognized value by the international community in the field of asylum and a basic principle of the Law of the European Union. The aim of the thesis is to answer the following questions: What are the motives of the EU Member States to take an active part in the asylum policy? How is this related to the concept of solidarity as a basic value of the European Union? In order to explore the possible motives of a state for taking an active part in refugee protection, I analyzed the discourse related to the creation of an emergency transit centre in Romania. The aim of the case study is to answer the following questions: What are the motivations behind Romania’s participation in this project, providing interim protection for the refugees? How is this related to the concept of solidarity as a basic value of the European Union? By analyzing the concept of solidarity in the asylum policy and by presenting the case study about the Romanian Emergency Transit Centre, the thesis contributes to a better understanding of the system of motivations which determine the Member States to take an active part in this field. |
