Problem imigracji w relacjach francusko-niemieckich

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the differences and similarities in national migration policy in France and Germany. Facing the dysfunction of the French assimilation model and Germany’s immigration profile, migration and integration of immigrants are the main themes of bilateral cooperation. The engagement in this fi eld was easy to observe during the both presidencies in the Council of European Union in 2007 and 2008. The author of this article proves that the process of europeization of Germany’s and France’s national migration policy influences their home aff airs policies. It causes building of the new institutions and establishing of the new legislation rules on migration, asylum and integration of immigrants. At the beginning of the XXI century both countries are forced to fi nd a modern solution of the dilemma: how to change an old model of thinking about migration phenomenon towards global challenges in the migration management.
