Abstract

The main research objective of the text is to analyse the refugee relocation system in the light of historical institutionalism in 2015–2018. Historical institutionalism refers to the interaction between European integration actors in the European Union system, analysed in retrospect from a documentary perspective. The time factor is particularly important, since it enables to follow the institutional process defined by EU norms, procedures and integration rules and their sequential impact on favoured treatment or disavowing of integration visions, preferences, needs and interests.
 In view of the above, the refugee relocation system proposed and introduced in the period 2015–2018 confirms the above research assumption that the political decision on relocation made by the European Commission and the European Council resulted in a relevant legal act adopted by the EU Council to regulate the issue. Although under the pressure of the situation Member States agreed, some of them began to contest the decisions later.

Summary

Method and methodology

The combination of EU external policy and the refugee crisis in Europe has not been much scientifically explored, in particular in the light of historical institutionalism. The author refers to his research output which he has refined, corrected and updated. The topic is important considering rapid changes in the EU itself, since issues valid at a given time have been no longer relevant a month later. Publications that deserved special attention in this article include: Kryzys i zaburzona dynamika Unii Europejskiej, Wydawnictwo Elipsa, Warsaw 2013, Unia Europejska w procesie zmiany. Jak przeszłość wpływa na przyszłość, in: 10 lat członkostwa Polski w Unii Europejskiej. Krzemiński, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego, Gdańsk 2014 and Wzrost antyimigracyjnego radykalizmu i eurosceptycyzmu jako wyzwanie dla przyszłości Unii Europejskiej, in: Uchodźcy w Europie – uwarunkowania, istota, następstwa, eds.
