| Abstract: | The aim of this thesis is to investigate the extent to which the migration and asylum policy has become stricter in the EU since the 2015 refugee crisis, under the impact of member state interests. The explanatory research question is: "How has the EU migration policy changed since 2015 and what was the role of member state preferences in this process?". Based on the selected representative countries Italy (first entry country), Germany (destination country), and Hungary (transit country), the respective preferences are examined and contextualized. Using a content analysis, Liberal Intergovernmentalism is used to examine the expectations set out to answer the research question. The content analysis is carried out based on qualitative secondary literature, published by the EU and the respective government of a country. The thesis reveals that the attitude of the EU member states significantly impacted the compromise and closes the research gap on clarifying the fundamental factors that have contributed to the change in migration policy since 2015 and how the compromise leading to the New Pact on Migration and Asylum was achieved. |
