Women who run for and gain political office often have to deal with a series of double-binds, insofar as they may be judged as being both too masculine (insufficiently feminine) and not masculine enough (too feminine). Zamfirache, and Okimoto and Brescoll, as well as a number of the videos, take up the issue from a number of directions. Discuss the kinds of expectations-traps which face women candidates and leaders as explored by these various authors, whether the arguments in the articles (and videos) offered reinforce or conflict with other arguments, and possible ways women can avoid these traps. What of the arguments presented in Peters that the leadership of women might be superior? Finally, Elshtain has noted that, in the history of Western political and philosophical thought, the question of women’s “being” (or identity) and virtues has long been in question; how much does her work help to make sense of what can be expected from women politicians?

The research question that guide the paper is Do Belgian citizens, identity themselves more strongly with the national or the regional level?

The paper brings together all steps undertaken. It sets out from a concise introduction that provides context and motivation of a clearly formulated, relevant and feasible (set of) research question(s). In building the literature study, students show their capacity to find sources that are relevant for tackling the research question, show how they gather insights in available literature that are useful to increase their understanding of a current issue; and illustrate their capacity to present, evaluate and link information from academic and other sources of information. In searching for and reading relevant sources, different perspectives on the subtopic and research question have been gathered and are presented in the paper. Points of attention in the literature study are, amongst other things, •possibly returning concepts and theories that are used in the investigated literature and sources; •whether the literature and sources are confirming a certain line of analysis and evaluation, or if there is disagreement among authors; •in case of an agreement among authors, what are then the main lines of the argument regarding the research question; •in case of disagreements, on which elements, concepts or evaluations is there disagreement and what are the arguments raised by authors. Looking for differences in focus, perspective, theoretical approach and/or methods used, usually elevates the understanding regarding the topic under scrutiny: “A clash of doctrines is not a disaster – it is an opportunity” (Whitehead, 1953, p. 186). The discussion of relevant information and insights is furthermore presented in a logical and academically rigorous narrative.

Analyze, firstly, the current EU regulatory integration on international protection, retracing the most important stages of the communitarization of the immigration and asylum policy within the Union and correlating the latter to a wider legal aspect such as the multilevel protection of fundamental rights.

The research project intends to analyze, firstly, the current EU regulatory integration on international protection, retracing the most important stages of the communitarization of the immigration and asylum policy within the Union and correlating the latter to a wider legal aspect such as the multilevel protection of fundamental rights.
In this context, the profiles of greatest interest are: the determination of the country competent to examine the asylum application as governed by the Dublin Regulation and balanced with the sovereignty clause; the definition of the categories of subjects included in the notion of international protection; the EU’s SAR zone and the “safe third country” concept.
It is worth noting that the humanitarian emergency of 2015 requires us to question the efficiency of the initiatives and legal instruments adopted by the European Union, in order to study a better migration policy on asylum aimed at guaranteeing respect for the fundamental rights of international protection applicants and fair sharing of responsibility among the States of the Union.
Consequently, it seems worth studying not only the EU management and control of irregular immigration but also its external dynamics. As a result, the second part of the research will be focused on the external dimension of the EU migration policy: the support to host and transit countries through existing Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions and operations, including on border management and fighting traffickers and smugglers; the use of financial tools such as the Emergency Trust Fund for Africa or the Syria Trust Fund in addition to other broader programs, such as the European Neighborhood Instrument (ENI), the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI), the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) and the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP); the mechanisms and agreements that affect in particular Niger and Rwanda, as regards the role played by UNHCR and IOM on the relocation of migrants via the mandate of the European Commission.

Finally, in order to identify some best practices, a comparison will be made between the external dimension of the asylum policies of the EU and Australia – as regards the management of the SAR area – and the United States – in terms of management of irregular migration flows on land border.
