Routledge Policy Change in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice

Understand the shifting landscape of European governance with this academic study from Routledge. As the European Union takes a larger role in managing migration flows and fighting organized crime, the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) has become a primary focus of political and legislative action. This book examines whether the gradual communitarisation of the AFSJ has led to actual policy change. It looks at the nature and direction of these shifts by analyzing how EU institutions function. Using a systematic, theory-informed, and comparative approach, the text offers a deep look into the institutional changes shaping the European Union today. This title is part of the Routledge Studies on Government and the European Union series, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and legal professionals interested in the evolution of EU law and institutional dynamics.
