Human Rights of Asylum Seekers in Italy and Hungary. Influence of International and EU Law on Domestic Actions

This book provides a unique analysis on how mass migration flows challenges basic principles and existing regulations, and how sector legislation is continuously evolving. Recent changes in the political orientation of the national policies might imply a rapprochement of the sector legislation of Italy and Hungary, and their stronger impact on the EU orientation. A core value of the book is that it does not only provide an overview of national approaches, but it also provides insights into various policy approaches, taking into account the relevant cultural aspects. It will help to understand the current Italian and Hungarian legal regime and its policy foundations. Furthermore, the book might contribute to better law making both on the national and the European level. The comparative analysis of the national legislation of each country, and of their relation to European and international law, highlights fundamental trends and issues concerning the handling of migration at global level.
