How does Nationalism Affect Migration?
On the 14th of June 1985, a treaty was signed, which prompted most European nations to
abolish their borders; as a result, the Schengen Area was formed. Five European Union
member states firstly signed the Agreement in Luxembourg. In 1999, the Schengen
Agreement was incorporated by the Treaty of Amsterdam in the framework of the European
Union (The Schengen Agreement, 2021, paras. 1, 9). Nowadays, the Schengen area covers all

the responsibility for refugees and migrants through a mandatory solidarity system. A new
proposal needed to be made in order to balance the positions of the Eastern and Southern
member states. Member states would be required to welcome asylum seekers, return those
who do not get asylum and provide financial aid (paras. 2-3). However, some eastern
European Countries, also known as the Visegrad Four, and of which most follow ideals of
nationalism, rejected this new proposal for dealing with migrants, as the measures were not
severe enough (Brzozowski, 2020, para. 1). This essay will investigate the following question:

In her article, Greenfeld (2011) writes that nationalism arose in Western European England
in the sixteenth century (p. 5). According to author Leah Greenfeld, “its emergence coincided
with the dawning of the European Age in History” (Greenfeld, 2011, p .5). This means that,
