Description
Until the Amsterdam Treaty,law and policymaking in the field of immigration remained a national function, though in practice there was much co-operation (the so-called Third Pillar). Now these powers have been transferred to the European Community as First Pillar powers. Only Denmark, Ireland and the UK have opted out.
This book looks at the likely effects of this substantial transfer of powers to the Community. How will the powers and responsibilities be divided? How should the powers be exercised? Will there be input from the public into policymaking? What role will Parliaments play? Will migrants suffer? The foremost scholars from many European countries try to answer these and other questions, offering a variety of legal and social viewpoints.

Reviews

Implementing Amsterdam is an excellent reminder of the discrepancy between what human rights should be and actual practice in the European Community. Anyone interested in immigration and asylum rights, or human rights in general, should read this book for its examination of the policy implications of the Amsterdam Treaty.
Stacey Sprenkel, Columbia Journal of European Law

Guild and Harlow's collection of essays is clearly a welcome addition to the literature. The book is wide-ranging, comprehensive and very informative.
Taking the collection as a whole, its strengths are considerable. One of its main strengths is the breadth of coverage
Another important strength is the unravelling of the contradictions and dilemmas underpinning the European policy on migration and asylum.
without doubt a well-conceived project which should become a valuable source of reference to all scholars and advanced students working in this field.Dora Kostakopoulou, University of Manchester, Public Law
