Approaches in analyzing the European migration and immigrant's integration within the EU

Summary/Abstract: The propensity towards migrating of the South-East Europe nations in the past two decades was a natural phenomena triggered by the political changes of the 1990s, when the process of democratization caused an inherent border-opening, and the economically developed states played a role of pull factor, especially for the ancillary sector of labor market. In the past few years, however, there's been greater demand for highly qualified labor force coming from the countries that have in the meantime become European Union member states. The 21st century challenges, however, call for analyzing migration from a different perspective, taking under consideration: its volume and extent, the today's dynamic and diversification of migration, the people's increasingly relying on migration, and the social concerns caused by immigrants. The purpose of the present article is that of scrutinizing today's approaches on the European phenomenon of migration, and of the issue of assimilating and protecting the immigrants.
