European Union’s (EU)
Migration policy on the Syrian refugee crisis, which has been embraced by the
Union with regard to the management of the crisis, has been subjected to
criticisms in the international politics and scholarly literature. A
significant portion of these criticisms focuses on whether the EU’s policies on
the Syrian refugee crisis are incompatible with its normative power identity.
EU is described as a normative political power with reference to the
theoretical framework provided by Ian Manners. Normative power EU’s migration
policy on the Syrian refugee crisis is therefore expected to have the following
features: EU values, especially human rights, based; at the supranational
level, inclusive, proactive and long-reaching. This policy, in other words,
should not be a policy which focuses on the security dimension of the crisis,
is realist power politics and externalization oriented, reactive and
short-sighted. In this sense, this study aims to examine whether the EU’s
policy on the Syrian refugee crisis is compatible with its normative power
identity. Methodologically, EU’s migration policy is examined by adapting, not
a detailed technical and doctrinal legal, but a theoretical and analytical
method with reference to the EU’s normative identity.
