This chapter considers several issues related to human rights. It highlights some shortcomings, inconsistencies, and human-rights violations that result from a still-ambiguous ‘politics of migration’ in the EU. The chapter emphasises the presence of contradictory programmes, ideas, philosophies, and policies, which have influenced the coordinative and communicative actions of national and EU policymakers. It aims to highlight the prospects of future improvements in EU policymaking.
This chapter provides a sketch of the general treatment of the three elements that make up the empirical scope of the book. It then presents more critical reflections on how people can interpret and explain the appearance of policy variation in contentious and complex policy fields, such as migrant integration and migration. The discussion in the book uses the emerging United States (US) literature on the role of emotions in policymaking. Most of this literature has developed in relation to the US immigration policy. The chapter also includes an outline of the individual contributions that comprise this volume.
This book provides innovative insights into one of the most controversial and important subjects of the 21st century: migration and social integration. Empirically, the volume offers comprehensive grounding in the relationships between migration, migration policies and social protection/inclusion in the enlarged European Union and its member states. Theoretically, the collection moves the debate on migration and integration policies onto new terrain. It explains how policies in this field are produced by institutional frameworks, political strategy, and contingent responses to events, but that these are themselves shaped by emotions, discourses, narratives, formal and informal aspects of governance. With contributions from leading international experts, the book can be used by academics and professionals as well as by undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The chapter concludes with some general reflections on policy and political trajectories and challenges in the field of migration, migration policy, and social protection.
