    Different narratives, one area without internal frontiers: why EU institutions cannot agree on the refugee crisis
    in National Identities , vol. 19, n. 2, special issue "Narrating European Integration: Transnational Actors and Stories" ,  2017 ,  161-177
    This article contextualizes contemporary institutional responses of the European Union (EU) to the refugee crisis within the historical setting in which EU migration and asylum policies emerged – namely during the implementation of the border-free Schengen Area (1984–1995). Using the analytical framework of ‘policy narratives’, it argues that EU institutions have used the creation of the ‘area without internal frontiers’ to build coherent narratives about the nature and scope of EU action and of their own role in it. Such narratives became locked into the institutional discourse and influenced the subsequent evolution of EU politics on the topic.
