MIGRATION POLICIES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. THE SOUTHERN BORDER: SPAIN

Abstract

THE AIM OF THE WORK IS TO ANALYZE THE CURRENT LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK OF THE EUROPEAN UNION REGARDING MIGRATION AND THE CHALLENGES WHICH IRREGULAR MIGRANTS FACE UPON ARRIVING. FOR THIS, THE 2015 MIGRATORY CRISIS IS ANALYZED, TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE CURRENT PHENOMENA HAVE SHAPED THE EUROPEAN MIGRATORY FRAMEWORK. THE INVESTIGATION WILL LATELY FOCUS ON THE CASE OF SPAIN, A COUNTRY FRAMED ON THE MEDITERRANEAN BORDER, WHICH EVERY YEAR FACES THOUSANDS OF ARRIVALS OF MIGRANTS TO ITS COAST. SPANISH POLICIES AND THEIR EVOLUTION IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL BE STUDIED.
