For this, both the main questions how the German migration policies developed since the 1990s and how much they subsequently became European policies were followed. With regard to Europeanization the survey shows that it is not a one way road. It is not a mere top-down process starting within the EU and leading to a change of policies within the EU member states. Instead, Europeanization would mean that the member states themselves (bottom-up process) would register their interest in a communitarisation of migration policies and may have significant influence on the top-down-process. So, Europeanization of national migration policies means – here using the example of Germany – their coordination on the supranational level of the EU including top-down and bottom-up processes as well. In this sense, the survey makes the area of migration policies accessible again: on one hand in Germany – i. e. on a national level – institutional adjustments of political instruments in response to supranational pressure can be deduced.
