When Europeans are asked about the EU’s achievements, free movement across member states is the most common response they give (in Eurobarometer surveys since the 1990s). Free movement is nonetheless controversial: at the same time a flagship policy of the Union and a primary target of anti-EU movements – so much so that in 2016 it triggered Brexit in the UK. Technically, the free movement regime of the EU is a unique arrangement entailing the legal equalization of migrants’ rights under the umbrella of a common supranational citizenship. This seminar explores the historical underpinnings of free movement in the EU, its theoretical foundations and empirical consequences. Ultimately, it discusses the future prospects of free movement both within and outside the European Union. |
