In this lecture given by Professor Jean-Pierre Cassarino, the European Union's readmission system is analysed, with a first approach to the knowledge developed in this area to date, followed by the lessons learned by European authorities with regard to cooperation in the readmission system. The concept of the paradox of peripheral centrality is also discussed and the three functions of the EU readmission system, namely coercion, regulation and legitimation, are presented.
