Our conclusion: EU migration governance is best characterised as 'supranationalism without integration'. The Commission has been empowered as a technocratic trustee, but the functional problems that produced the 2015 crisis remain unresolved. 7/7

Yet this empowerment has clear limits. The Dublin model survives intact. Solidarity between member states remains elusive. Governing through technocracy rather than political negotiation risks providing populist actors with a powerful delegitimising narrative. 6/7

The Commission responded by developing a new role as technocratic trustee by managing EU funds, deploying agencies, and building new governance instruments. Through these non-legislative tools, it became a coordinator and centraliser of power. 5/7

After 2015, the European Council acted as a trouble-maker rather than a problem-solver, blocking reform of the EU asylum and migration and constraining the Commission's capacity to propose long-ranging reforms. But this paralysis opened an unexpected window of opportunity elsewhere. 4/7

New intergovernmentalism argued the polycrisis produced 'integration without supranationalism'. Migration, we argue, tells a very different story, one where the institutional outcome runs in the opposite direction. 3/7

It is part of a special issue on European Council normalisation by Derek Beach, @uwepuetter.bsky.social and Sandrino Smeets. We examine how the European Council and the Commission work together once the dust of a the refugee crisis settles: and the answer is more paradoxical than expected. 2/7

📖 We re-examine the validity of the 'liberal constraints' thesis in view of recent legislatives and non-legislatives changes, such as the Migration and Asylum Pact and the push for more externalisation. 🙏 Many thanks to Agnieszka Weinar for managing the process!

When Italian PM Giorgia Meloni unveiled her flagship plan to intercept, detain and process asylum-seekers in Albania, it was presented as a grand answer to Europe’s migration crisis. But one year later, the scheme is stuck in judicial limbo.
