It traces the evolution of the idea across legal sources, policy frameworks, and institutional discourse, situating it within broader debates on European integration and mobility. Through a critical historical study of the areas of free movement of workers, accession treaties, association agreements and migration from third countries from 1951 to the present, the book highlights the centrality of the economic and social pillars of sustainability in the historical evolution of EU migration law."
