Resumo(s)
Since the unprecedented activation of the Temporary Protection Directive,
some media outlets have pointed out the differences and similarities between the
migration crisis of 2015 and the migration flow of 2022 with the war in Ukraine.
Research has shown that some factors such as geographical proximity, shared values
and public opinion might contribute to more positive and welcoming migration policies
or do the opposite. This study aims to understand what sociopolitical factors have
influenced the apparent selective solidarity in the EU, with the adoption of different
policies towards migration. Drawing on a comprehensive review of EU migration policy
literature, this research undertakes a comparative analysis of the 2015 crisis and the
2022 Ukrainian migration flow to assess whether the EU exhibits a double standard in
its treatment of refugees. Based on the data and literature available, the results have
shown that the two moments in history were marked by several differences and that
the most pressing one was the policies adopted by the European Institutions and the
Member States. Influenced by a multitude of factors, the European Union showed a
much more compassionate and solidary stance towards Ukrainian refugees than with
the refugees coming from the middle east in 2015. As the War in Ukraine is still
ongoing and more recent, further research might be needed to analyze how the
solidarity and public opinion regarding Ukrainian refugees evolves
