Summary/Abstract: This study, that is based on the claim that European Union (EU) is acting as a regulatory power intending to manage the populations -directed to the borders of Europe- through control, surveillance and security technologies, is focusing on EU’s border security and surveillance mechanisms, and on policies implemented regarding immigration regime which became one of the most controversial policies today. Within this frame, in this study it is being intended to examine the policies implemented by European Border and Coast Guard Agency (FRONTEX) and European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) –which are the basic institutions and surveillance mechanism in the control of borders- at the outer borders of EU. The Arab Spring -which started in 2011- and the massive flows -which arose as the result of Syrian War- have not just made immigration as one of the most significant articles of security agenda of EU but also made it a significant factor which caused the Union to move towards national security from the values of EU.
