The thesis of Burcu Atalay,
fall 2009 graduate of European Studies Master Program, entitled “Differentiated
Rights for Immigrants: Analysis of Common European Immigration Policy” and
supervised by Işık Özel has been published as a book by Lambert Academic
Publishing.

The thesis examines a puzzle: despite the rights of legally
resident third country nationals have expanded considerably those of the
illegal immigrants and asylum seekers have diminished in the course of the
European integration process. The study highlights the role played by the
securitization process in explaining such puzzle.
