ABSTRACT

The refugee crisis evidenced a myriad of flaws in the EU common asylum policy, especially the lack of fairness in asylum burden-sharing. This paper reveals that, despite some progress in terms of inequality, a bi-polarised distribution gained ground. Moreover, two novel convergence approaches in this field reveal that the message of previous articles on disparity reduction is incomplete; there was no pure convergence, as it was achieved due to frontrunners, with no role for laggards. Consequently, urgent political action and greater leadership by European institutions are required to pave the way for distributive justice between states in asylum burdens.

摘要

难民危机暴露了欧盟共同庇护政策的诸多缺陷，尤其是庇护负担分担方面缺乏公平性。本文揭示，尽管在不平等方面取得了一些进展，但两极分化的分布仍占主导地位。此外，该领域的两种新颖的收敛方法表明，之前关于缩小视差的文章所传达的信息是不完整的。不存在纯粹的趋同，因为这是由领先者实现的，落后者没有作用。因此，欧洲机构需要采取紧急政治行动和加强领导，为各国之间的庇护负担分配正义铺平道路。
