EU Migration – A Debate about Borders and Political Challenges
Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2017, Vol 23, Issue 23
Abstract
Over the last two years, the EU Institutions have prioritised the European agenda with issues regarding the migration phenomenon. The present European Union (EU), dominated by different kind of crises – political, social or economic ones – determine a formal quality, reliability and correct positioning in the decision making process of its institutional design. However, we are wondering what solutions can be proposed in order for the unity of the European project to resist, especially in this EU context where we may easily observe that populist current is used by more parties in order to obtain electoral support and to achieve politic advantages. This kind of discourse uses strong emotional resources, such as hatred against foreigners who threaten individual security, labour market or specific identity issues, like cultural elements, religious, traditional, social customs. The Populist Parties tend to juxtapose problem with solution and internal issues are correlated with an international speech without a specific link besides a strong determination in captivating a general support. Thus, our interest is to focus our paper on exploring the role of the immigrant population in designing the EU political agenda. May we consider migration as a dissolution factor for the European unity? What is the role of the populist parties in the political crisis which is facing nowadays the European Union construction project.
