"This paper explores the development of a so-called asylum 'buffer zone' around the eastern frontiers of the west European region as a result of the Schengen, EU and EFTA member states' introduction of more restrictive asylum policies during the first half of the 1990s. Restrictive policies in western Europe are forcing central and east European states into a 'buffer role', obliging them to absorb asylum-seekers who fail to gain entry into western Europe and/or restrict asylum-seekers' access to the borders of potential 'receiving' states. In addition to examining the mechanisms by which this 'buffer zone' is developing and questioning what it might mean for future asylum trends and policies in Europe, the paper considers the wider questions raised by this development in relation to the changing geopolitical landscape of Europe, particularly in relation to the changing political and security relations between western, central and eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union."

签证要求，承运人制裁，“第三国安全”和“重新接纳”：在欧洲发展庇护“缓冲区”。

“本文探讨了由于申根，欧盟和欧洲自由贸易联盟成员国在上半年欧盟实行更严格的避难政策而在西欧地区东部边境附近建立的所谓避难区的情况。 1990年代，西欧的限制性政策迫使中欧和东欧国家发挥“缓冲作用”，迫使它们吸收未能进入西欧的寻求庇护者和/或限制寻求庇护者进入潜在的边界。 “接收状态”：除了研究“缓冲区”发展的机制并质疑其对欧洲未来的庇护趋势和政策可能意味着什么外，本文考虑了这一事态发展所带来的更广泛的问题，这些问题与欧洲不断变化的地缘政治格局有关，特别是与西欧，中欧和东欧与前苏联之间不断变化的政治和安全关系有关。”
