The proposed project researches effects of freedom of movement (FOM) on the EU integration process. EU countries of destination of EU migrants have already received researchers’ attention finding that FOM can be perceived both positively and negatively leading to different actor positions on EU integration. However, little is known on this relationship in EU-countries of origin. Thus, the project is among the first that focuses on effects of FOM on politics and societies in EU countries of origin. Studying collective actor preferences it will reveal how FOM actually contributes to EU integration as predicted by EU integration theories and introduced in the EU Treaty (Art. 45 TFEU). Contrary to this assumption, FOM could also lead to a weakening of EU integration. Guided by two research assumptions the project researches first whether actors interpret effects of FOM increasingly within a communitarian framing and second whether and how diverging actor preferences on FOM may be compensated by strategies of institutional layering on national and EU level. Whether and how actors articulate attitudes towards EU integration on the basis of their FOM interpretations does not only allow for an assessment of the relationship between FOM and EU integration, but may also provide for strategies of conflict resolution within the EU multi-level system. Within this process of preference formation of actors on the national and EU level, the project will also unearth the social and political cleavages that lie at its core.

拟议项目研究行动自由（FOM）对欧盟一体化进程的影响。欧盟移民目的地国已经受到研究人员的关注，他们发现 FOM 可以被积极和消极地看待，从而导致不同的参与者对欧盟一体化的立场。然而，人们对欧盟原籍国的这种关系知之甚少。因此，该项目是首批关注 FOM 对欧盟原籍国政治和社会影响的项目之一。通过研究集体行为者偏好，它将揭示 FOM 如何真正为欧盟一体化做出贡献，正如欧盟一体化理论所预测的和欧盟条约中引入的那样（TFEU 第 45 条）。与这一假设相反，FOM 还可能导致欧盟一体化的削弱。在两个研究假设的指导下，该项目首先研究行为者是否越来越多地在社群主义框架内解释 FOM 的影响，其次研究行为者对 FOM 的不同偏好是否以及如何可以通过国家和欧盟层面的制度分层策略来补偿。行为者是否以及如何根据其对 FOM 的解释来表达对欧盟一体化的态度，不仅可以评估 FOM 与欧盟一体化之间的关系，而且还可以为欧盟多层次体系内的冲突解决策略提供依据。在国家和欧盟层面的行为者偏好形成过程中，该项目还将揭示其核心的社会和政治分歧。
