The Commentary on EU Immigration and Asylum Law, edited by Kay Hailbronner, and published by C.H. Beck, Hart, and Nomos (1568 pages), fills a major gap in the academic writing on immigration and asylum law. The book offers students and researchers, immigration and asylum practitioners, judges, non-governmental organizations, and policy-makers the first complete article-by-article analysis in English of all major normative acts, which were adopted in the framework of the Common European Asylum System (CAES) and the more limited in scope common European immigration scheme.
The team of contributing authors comprises academics, practitioners, administration officials, and junior researchers from the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
The Commentary analyses the following Directives and Regulations:
- Regulation listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders
- Schengen Borders Code
- Directive on family reunification
- Directive on the admission of students
- Directive on the admission of researchers
- Directive on the victims of trafficking
