Objectives: CEASEVAL carries out a comprehensive evaluation of the CEAS in terms of its framework and practice. It makes an analysis of harmonisation, which goes beyond the formal institutional setting and takes into account the complex relations among the actors engaged from the local and the national levels, to the European level, in order to explain the success and the failure of coordinated action between these varied actors.
Summary: Based on an interdisciplinary and multilevel research approach, CEASEVAL innovatively:
- Combines multiple disciplines in order to explore different perspectives of the CEAS,
- Develops a new theoretical framework of multilevel governance of the CEAS, which will be empirically tested across several EU Member States and third countries,
- Provides a critical evaluation of the CEAS by identifying and analysing discrepancies in the transposition and incorporation of European standards in the area of asylum in domestic legislation, as well as differences in their implementation, and
- Elaborates new policies by constructing different alternatives of implementing a common European asylum system. On this basis, CEASEVAL will determine which kind of harmonisation (legislative, implementation, etc.) and solidarity is possible and necessary.
