“…A stronger focus on denying territorial access to asylum-seekers as a result of tougher border control can negate commitments made by Member States to respect international standards. NGOs were concerned that asylum policy was actually regressing with a lowering of standards and uncritical adoption of EU legislation weakening of domestic protection standards (Toplak 2006). This was evident in the hostility to Iranian migrants who entered Slovenia via Bosnia in 2000 who were vilified and sometimes physically attacked (Thomson 2006: 11).…”

Division of administrative powers is the result of concrete decisions made by the supreme power holders (ius eminens) to be present in the daily life of an individual. Quarters, district offices (in Slovene: “kresije” [pl.]), counting offices, recruitment districts, and district boards were those agents of power that were used by the supreme power holder to ensure the common good through them. The holder‟s power originated from the supreme power holder. It was restricted by the degree at which he operated. According to the nature of things, the power was subordinated by the delegated competences, and they functioned on the principle of subsidiarity, or it was autonomous under control in the case of the Church. Pragmatism of each supreme power holder is reflected in observing the divisions in operation. They most frequently emerged from the controlled autonomy.

“…Enhanced border security can, but not necessarily does, reduce a state's commitment to international, including, EU standards. A common theme in NGO interviews was that policy-making had regressed into an uncritical adoption of EU policy and a watering down of protection standards (see also Toplak 2006). There was little contestation of EU policy at the elite level.…”

This article analyses European integration's effects on migration and border security governance in Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia in the context of 'governed interdependence'. We show how transgovernmental networks comprising national and EU actors, plus a range of other participants, blur the distinction between the domestic and international to enable interactions between domestic and international policy elites that transmit EU priorities into national policy. Governments are shown to be 'willing pupils' and 'policy takers', adapting to EU policy as a pre-condition for membership. This strengthened rather than weakened central state actors, particularly interior ministries. Thus, in a quintessentially 'national' policy area, there has been a re-scaling and re-constitution of migration and border security policy. To support this analysis, social network analysis is used to outline the composition of governance networks and analyse interactions and power relations therein. ARTICLE HISTORY
