Under de senaste två åren har EU och EU-medlemsstaterna haft stora utmaningar till följd av flyktingkrisen. Brister i EU:s yttre gränskontroller har lett till att några medlemsstater, däribland Sverige, valt att införa tillfälliga inre gränskontroller. Den fria rörligheten har därmed begränsats till förmån för allmän ordning och säkerhet. Uppsatsen handlar om att undersöka om de svenska åtgärderOver the last two years, the EU and EU Member States have faced challenges as a result of the refugee crisis. Deficiencies in the EU's external borders have led to the imposition of temporary internal border controls by some Member States.
