Abstract

This special issue of the Deusto Journal of European Studies includes seven of the contributions presented during the International Conference entitled “The EU Migration, Border Management and Asylum Reform in the Aftermath of the Refugee Crisis: Towards an Effective Enforcement”, held at the University of Deusto on June 2 and 3, 2022. This event took place within the framework of the activities of the Jean Monnet Network on EU Law Enforcement (EULEN). This Erasmus+ project’s ambition is to bring academics and practitioners together, to address the challenges for EU law enforcement in a world without territorial borders. In particular, this special issue reveals that since the 2015 “refugee crisis” the EU is experiencing an acute implementation deficit and that several enforcement and implementation discrepancies remain at the national level.
