CURRERNT DEVELOPMENT IN SCHENGEN: A PROOF OF ITS CRISIS OR FLEXIBILITY?

Journal Title: Medzinárodné vzťahy - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 4

Abstract

Recently, the question of whether the Schengen agreement is reaching the end of its lifespan has been broadly discussed. However, Schengen is still alive. Drawing on Koselleck, this paper examines whether a state of crisis can be identified within Schengen. Whereas in research, reimpositions of internal borders are seen as the main reason for the crisis and as an expression of inadequate trust, the discourse analysis indicates that in the EU discourse, reimpositions are perceived as a justified means to deal with an emergency, which is in line with the Schengen acquis, and the main problem that must be addressed are inefficient external controls. Hence, it is crucial to ask not only whether Schengen is in crisis but also what the crisis represents.
