Handling Migration Phenomenon at the Romanian Borders in Postmodern Times

Summary/Abstract: Migration is a subject to be discussed everywhere, no matter what area: politics, social behaviour, economy or professional domains, all of them are influenced by the phenomenon. Migration transformed along time from a regional process to a global one. As it is said in the National Strategy for immigration for 2015–2018(Strategia Naţională privind imigraţia pentru perioada 2015–2018), „Migration is a process that should be handled, not a problem that should be solved.” The modern age and especially the contemporary one have seen a diversification of the migration phenomenon and a steady increase in the number of migrants. The postmodernist vision of new European construction seeks to overcome the historical resentments that some European nations have on one another and which seemed to never be overcome, as are for example, those between France and Germany. The general trend regarding the migration flow on the territory of Romania is the exit from the country on the border with Hungary and the entry into the country at the other borders, the cases, very few in the opposite direction of this trend, should be neglected. Turkey is almost invariably the launching platform for migrants, whether from the Middle East or from Africa to Europe.The number of illegal migrants arriving in Romania directly from Turkey on the Black Sea was 472 in 2016. Facilitator networks operating in Turkey catalogue this route as“cheap” but with increased risks.
