Özet:
This thesis tries to assess the normative power of the
European Union within the context of its migration policy. In line with this
objective, the thesis first examines the concept of normative power Europe, the
possible criteria to assess the credibility of the normative power Europe claim
and the major criticisms raised against the concept. Then, the thesis continues
with the discussions on the motivations of the EU member states in developing
common migration policy at the EU level, the securitization of migration in the
EU, and the externalization of the EU’s migration policies. The major concern
of this thesis is to examine whether the EU can be regarded as a normative
power or not given its security-oriented external migration policy. By
examining readmission and border management policies of the EU, the thesis
tries to analyse the motivations, instruments and the impact of the EU’s
external migration policy. The analysis shows that securitization and the
externalization strategy of the EU stand in stark contrast to normative power
Europe claim in several respects. Control-oriented and restrictive migration
policies and the way the EU externalizes its migration policies undermine the
founding norms and principles of the EU. The thesis arrives at the conclusion
that the EU, with its current immigration and asylum policies, is not a
normative power, but a realpolitik or status quo power at best.
Keywords: Normative power, the European Union, migration policy,
