Chessboard politics: The contested emergence of EU return and readmission norms
Protecting People or Promoting Ideologies? Insights From the Constitutional Asylum Dataset
Asylum is widely associated with humanitarian norms and domestic laws in liberal democracies. Reflecting this assumption, systematic information on the evolution of asylum provisions in national constitutions remains limited, and comparative analyses of the motives behind the legal codification of refugee protection in autocracies are even scarcer. This research note addresses these gaps by introducing the Constitutional Asylum (COAS) dataset, wh…
Policy diffusion across political ideologies: Explaining Denmark’s desire to externalise asylum
In 2021, the Danish Social Democratic government tabled a bill allowing asylum seekers to be transferred to another country to process claims and provide protection. Witnessing a Social Democratic government embracing this highly controversial idea, even though less than a handful of right-wing governments outside Europe had previously outsourced asylum, is puzzling. Policy diffusion theory is used to explain the underlying mechanism and analyse …
Restrictive North versus Permissive South? Revisiting Dominant Narratives on the Evolution of the Refugee Regime
The evolution of the international refugee regime is ostensibly driven by three ongoing processes: the proliferation of protection frameworks, grow-ing restrictiveness in the Global North, and the liberalization of asylum in the Global South. Insights from the novel SACOP dataset, which provides original information on asylum policies in 195 states from 1951 to 2021, question these widely shared assumptions. Essentially, the data reveals the pers…
Theorizing policy diffusion: From a Patchy Set of Mechanisms to a Paradigmatic Typology
In recent decades, we have witnessed the diffusion of policy diffusion studies across many sub-disciplines of political science. Four mechanisms of policy diffusion—learning, competition, emulation and coercion—have become widely accepted as explanations for how policymaking processes and policy outcomes in one polity influence those in other polities. After pointing to major shortcomings of this inductively gained set of mechanisms, we present a…
Contagious Policies? Studying National Responses to a Global Pandemic in Europe
Not only Covid‐19 has spread all over the world—the policies responding to this pandemic have also diffused rapidly across countries. In this research note, we present findings from an original dataset that features mobility restrictions in all EU/EFTA states as well as the United Kingdom during the first wave of the pandemic. We find that most countries adopted restrictions within a few days only and that restrictions on internal mobility had be…
