Spanish leadership in developing a 'common' European immigration policy: Intergovernmentalist supranationalization approach

<p>I EXAMINE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A "COMMON" EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION POLICY (SINCE THE 1980S) WITHIN THE LINES OF TWO MAJOR EUROPEAN INTEGRATION THEORIES: INTERGOVERNMENTALISM AND SUPRANATIONALISM. APPLICATION OF ANDREW MORAVCSIK'S LIBERAL INTERGOVERNMENTALIST APPROACH TO THE CASE STUDY OF THE SPANISH IMMIGRATION LAW EVOLUTION (SINCE 1980S) REVEALS THAT SPAIN, AS A NATION STATE, CONTINUES TO EXERT DOMESTIC PREFERENCES ON THE EU LEVEL, WITH RESPECT TO THE "COMMON" POLICY REGIME. THEREFORE, DESPITE THE GRADUAL POLICY-MAKING AND DECISION-MAKING EMPOWERNMENT OF THE EU INSTITUTIONS, I CONCLUDE THAT INTERGOVERNMENTALISM PREVAILS IN THE IMMIGRATION POLICY RHETORIC.</p>
