Abstract
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE EUROPEAN UNION HAS BEEN DEALING WITH AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PROBLEMS REGARDING THE WAVES OF IMMIGRANTS ENTERTING THE EUROPEAN AREA, ISSUES RELATED TO BORDER SECURITY AND, ESPECIALLY, CONFLICTS CONCERNING THE ACCEPTANCE OF IMMIGRANTS WITHIN THE NEW TERRITORIES, AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ISSUE ON PROVIDING SHELTER, BUT A WHOLE PROCESS OF INTEGRATION, FROM ALL POINTS OF VIEW (ECOPNOMIC, SOCIAL, POLITICAL, CULTURAL, ETC.), WHICH TAKES TIME, RESOURCES, THE INSTITUIONS’ AND CITIZENS’ DESIRE TO ACCEPT THEM IN THEIR OWN SOCIAL SYSTEM. AS WE COULD OBSERVE SO FAR, CERTAIN STATES WERE MORE OPEN TOWARDS IMMIGRANTS AND, TOW ARDS THEIR INTEGRATION. ONE OF THE MATTERS WE WANT TO UNDERLINE IN THIS PAPER IS THE ONE RELATED TO THE POSSIBILITY OF CERTAIN CONNECTIONS EXISTING BETWEEN THE TERRORIST ATTACKS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN LATELY, AND THE WAVES OF IMMIGRAN TS COMING TO EUROPE, WHICH CAN RAISE AN ALARM REGARDING THE SECURITY OF BORDERS AND CITIZENS.
THESE ARE THE MAIN IDEAS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP BY OUTLINING THE CAUSES, LINKS, AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT IMMIGRATION AND TERRORISM CAN HAVE ON EUROPEAN SPACE, ESPECIALLY ON THE SECURITY OF STATES, CITIZENS AND, IMPLICITLY, ON THE ENTIRE SOCIETY.
