Workshop: "Rights at stake – the Nordic Welfare States and Europeanization of Migration Control" at 17th Nordic Migration Conference

This workshop seeks to explore ethical implications of the Europeanization of Nordic migration governance and an internal pressure for more restrictive migration policies. Some of the questions that may be investigated are:

- In what ways are rights of refugees and migrants (regular and irregular) accommodated under the current harmonization of EU law/directives as compared to under the ”Nordic migration models”?

- How does the Europeanization affect the Nordic nation states´ right to self-determination with regard to their international commitments to individual human rights?

- What are the moral obligations of policy-makers in the face of a Europeanization of Nordic migration governance?

- What, if any, are the ethically relevant challenges for the Nordic states regarding the shared asylum directive?
