Abstract

This chapter focuses on two further examples of polycentric solutions to the EU's salient problems and on the preconditions for their success. With proper enforcement of common borders, for example, the EU can withstand the existence of diverse asylum and immigration policies across member states. Unlike the top-down system of Dublin II, a voluntary system of matching asylum-seekers to countries could emerge from the bottom up, minimizing the prospect of chaotic movements of people across the EU seen in 2015 and 2016. A more systematic enforcement of the EU's competition policy rules in the area of energy and growing integration of energy markets, meanwhile, would allow for decentralized responses to challenges of both of energy security and climate change - subjects on which the EU member states do not always see eye to eye.
