THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION SYSTEM

THIS P APER INVESTIGATES THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION SYSTEM AND HOW IT CHANGED IN THE LAST YEARS. THE CONCEPT OF THE MIGRATION SYSTEM, FIRST POPULARIZED IN THE 1970S, HAS REMAINED A STAPLE COMPONENT OF ANY REVIEW OF MIGRATION THEORY. AFTER A THEORETICAL BASE, THE PAPER ANALYZES ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FIRST IN EUROPE IN GENERAL, THEN AS A SPECIFIC CASE STUDY, IN ITALY AFTER THE LAW “BOSSI -FINI” OF 2002. THE DEBATE ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN ITALY, CHARACTERIZED BY STRONG POSITIONS, BASED MORE ON EM OTIONALITY AND IDEOLOGICAL POSITIONS THAN ON STATISTICAL DATA, WAS ALSO AMPLIFIED BY THE "SPECTACULARIZATION" OF THE LANDINGS, ALTHOUGH A CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE DATA LEADS TO HIGHLIGHTING WHEREAS ILLEGAL SMUGGLING BY SEA ACCOUNTS FOR AROUND 10% OF THE PHENOMENON OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. THE RESEARCH AIMS TO RETRACE THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND OF NATIONAL LAWS COMPETENCES IN THE FIELD OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN GENERAL, BY LOOKING CLOSER AT THE ITALIAN CASE.
