Abstract
THE EUROPEAN UNION IS FACING MANY CHALLENGES AND IS STRUGGLING TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE MIGRATION POLICY BASED ON THE CORE OF EUROPEAN VALUES, WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND IS FIGHTING AGAINST ILLEGAL MIGRATION. SPAIN HAD BECOME THE DESTINATION FOR INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS AND IS REPRESENTING A STATEGIC POINT IN THE INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION IN EUROPE. THE ARAB SPRING HAD INCREASED THE CHALLENGES FOR EU’ S BORDER POLITICS REGARDING NORTH AFRICA. THIS EVENT HAS TRIGGERED THE INTENSIFICATION OF THE MIGRATION PROCESS, AND ALSO IMPORTANT SOCIAL CHANGES IN SPAIN' S FRONTIER POLICIES. THE COMMON STRUGGLE OF T HE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND THE SPANIS GOVERNMENT AGAINST IRREGULAR MIGRATION AND THE INTEGRATION OF IMMIGRANS IN SPAIN AND THE MEDITERANEAN REGIONS IS NOT YET CONCLUDED. THE MAIN QUESTION REMAINS: IS SPAIN READY FOR THE NEW CHALLENGES THAT ARE EMERGING?
