Twentieth International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations

Abstract

Nowadays there is an ongoing debate that EU has to rethink its migration policy and asylum policy as well. The tragic facts became so common in recent period that it made officials and the nations to rethink how the EU migration policy works. The purpose of my research is to analyze why states come with initiatives individually to tackle mass influxes of migrants and if this means that common policy fails in this direction. Membership of EU means equal coexistence, collective decision making, and the balance of power. These are predominant and foundational principles of the European Union. When the states try to sophisticate or improve common policy it’s a different fact, but in this case when states individually try to stipulate for global change it means that the existing common policy fails. Boundaries have never stopped changing through the centuries. Borders have never been static and are changing even now. Do borders matter? Old frontiers disappear, new appear. They vanish and come into sight, they are drawn or redrawn. The negotiation of identify difference has become a challenge to democracies nowadays, therefore preserving humans cultural and cognitive boundaries are the precious values. Integration via migration processes is necessary for the development of the countries, for creating cultural diversity. However, prudent steps should be taken these processes not to become threat to the national identity.
