This article focuses on the specific type policy problem for the control of refugee in the EU, and it discusses the necessity of enhancement of multi-level governance system in practicing of policy making of asylum and refugees.
Although we can notice the adaptation of multi-level governing strategy in various policy areas of the EU, it might suggest a question of asylum and refugee policy making on which the national government‘s competence might be limited.
In fact, even though it has been expected that the upgrading of the European Commission and European Parliament’s role for the asylum process after EU’s major treaties, this has not been occurred. And as the national preference would be prominent on policy making decision, the practice of multi-level governance has not been activated well in this policy area. In this paper, it examines the practicable conditions in multi-level governing for asylum and refugee policy, analysing the case study of policy making of asylum and refugee in Italy and Germany.
