Applying Max Weber’s theories of legitimacy, it determines that while states have certain traditionally legitimate functions, migration control, as distinct from the determination of citizenship, is not one such function. Measures of migration control must thus be justified on a rational-legal basis, that is, on a minimal evidential basis. Acknowledging the many obstacles states face in carrying out this legitimising exercise, it is suggested that a supranational approach at the regional level is the most sustainable long-term model, with an ultimate aim of achieving inter-regional cooperation on migration management on the basis of equality between regions.Immigration and asylum law and policy in Europe ;Volume 40.Emigration and immigration lawSocial aspectsEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyEmigration and immigration lawEuropean Union countriesEuropean Union countriesEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyEmigration and immigration lawSocial aspects.Emigration and immigrationGovernment policy.Emigration and immigration law325.4McMahon Aoife(Lawyer),1527346MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798851103321The role of the state in migration control3770054UNINA
