      abstract = {This book fills a significant lacuna in our understanding  of the refugee crisis by analyzing the dynamics that lie  behind fifteen years of asylum policies in the European  Union. It sheds light on why cooperation has led to  reinforced refugee protection on paper but has failed to  provide it in practice. Offering innovative empirical,  theoretical and methodological research on this crucial  topic, it argues that the different asylum systems and  priorities of the various Member States explain the EU's  lack of initiative in responding to this humanitarian  emergency. The author demonstrates that the strong  regulators of North-Western Europe have used their powerful  bargaining positions to shape EU asylum policies  decisively, which has allowed them to impose their will on  Member States in South-Eastern Europe. These latter  countries, having barely made a mark on EU policies, are  now facing significant difficulties in implementing them.  The EU will only identify potential solutions to the  crisis, the author concludes, when it takes these  disparities into account and establishes a functioning  common refugee policy. This novel work will appeal to  students and scholars of politics, immigration and asylum  in the EU.},
