Corruption and migration policy. EU crisis management revisited

This study explores the analysis of the policy of EU countries regarding immigrants under the impact corruption may have had on the formulation and implementation of migration policies. The analysis shall proceed through three steps. First, authors shall describe our position within the theoretical discourse about corruption theory. Authors shall then move on to compare the shifts in levels of corruption in select EU Member States for some crucial years during the period between 2006 and 2015. Third, researchers shall look into the core factors behind these shifts and identify links to migration policies.
