The research project asks what social rights can arise for asylum seekers in Sweden. In 2015, up to 190,000 asylum seekers arrived in Sweden. The Migration Agency's main scenario for 2016 is based on 135,000 asylum seekers. This involves a large number of non-European citizens who will stay in Sweden for a long time before their right to asylum can be examined. In light of this situation, the project analyzes the legal challenges that exist when an (unexpected) interaction between national and EU law regulations can lead to an independent right to social benefits for asylum seekers in Sweden. The project is based on a legal analytical method regarding the impact of Union law regulations on the Swedish welfare system. By abstracting and condensing two completely different legal forces: the free movement of persons under EU law and fundamental rights and freedoms, this approach enables a deeper analysis of how the interaction between different regulations takes place and how the resulting social rights can expose the Swedish welfare model. The overall value of the project lies in the fact that the project aims both to define and analyze a potential catalogue of rights for non-European citizens and to conduct a critical legal policy discussion on the external borders of a transnational solidarity for Sweden.
