Summary, in English
The failure of the EU and its Member States to adequately respond to increased refugee movements since 2015, has caused disagreement on how the principle of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility should be given effect in the context of a reformed European policy on migration. In September 2020, the
European Commission proposed the new Pact on Migration and Asylum which was meant to promote a new pragmatic approach to solidarity for achieving ‘a fair, workable and sustainable EU migration system’. This chapter seeks to interrogate this new approach to solidarity with a view to establishing the
extent to which it provides a viable remedy to current and future challenges for refugee protection in Europe. The main proposition is that the conception of pragmatism promoted in the Pact emphasizes excessive formalism through calculative rules and complex procedures sidestepping questions of political
organization, community and belonging that solidarity has squarely brought to the table in 2015. A reimagining of solidarity in the CEAS as particular form of conducting regional and global politics is suggested as the way forward.
