EU Asylum and Immigration Law
examines in detail the EU legislation and case law on the issues of
immigration, asylum, visas and border controls, discussing the impact and
ongoing development of EU law in these complex and controversial areas.
The updated edition particularly
covers new EU legislation, case law, and operational developments since 2010
on: internal border checks; external border controls; visa lists; litigation to
obtain a visa; the Schengen Information System; the Visa Information System;
family reunion; non-EU students; long-term residents; all aspects of refugee
law (including the definition of 'refugee' and subsidiarity protection, the
rights of asylum-seekers, and Member States' responsibility for
asylum-seekers); and irregular migrants' rights. It also covers the
institutional framework for these issues, the related human rights aspects, and
the connections with other areas of EU law, like the free movement of EU citizens.
Steve Peers' seminal text on the justice and home affairs law of the European
Union appears in its fourth edition and is now available in two separate
volumes covering asylum and immigration law, and criminal law, policing, and
civil law, and as a two-volume set. It provides a detailed examination of EU
legislation and case law on the issues of immigration, asylum, visas, border
controls, and police and criminal law cooperation, discussing the impact and
ongoing development of EU law.
This edition is the definitive guide
to these intricate, contentious, and fast-developing areas of EU law, and will
be invaluable to scholars, practitioners, and students in the field.
