Course objectives
The aim of this course is to present the fundamentals of Polish asylum policy and law, included respond to refugee crisis in Europe. National provisions are presented and analyzed in the European asylum frameworks. The course will focus on the three aspects of the asylum system: institutional provisions (national bodies, the EU-wide administrative cooperation, the EU agencies), substantive norms (forms of protection, rights connected with a status) and procedural norms (single asylum procedure, judicial review, relocation and resettlement). The knowledge of the essence of Polish asylum system allows for a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences between Czech and Polish systems in the wider context of the Europeanization of law.
