Abstract

Generally, refugees must apply for asylum in the country through which they entered Europe. This is the basic principle of the Dublin Regulation, which was adopted in 1990 and came into force in 1997. Based on biographical interviews and case studies of young male refugees in France, this chapter examines the effects of the regulation on their experiences and life courses. First, the Dublin Regulation appears as an obstacle to finding a place of refuge after arriving in Europe. Second, through the threat of intra-European deportation, it prevents refugees from feeling that they have arrived in the country of destination. Although the Dublin Regulation is not effectively implemented as rigidly as politicians would want it to be, it can have serious long-term biographical consequences for the people concerned.
