Le dimensioni contano. I migranti nella legislazione europea dalla direttiva del 2001 al nuovo patto sulla migrazione e l’asilo

Abstract

Despite migrants keep to try and reach EU territory (and often dying in the process), the EU looks ever more concerned with how to keep them away. This is in sharp contrast with the values of solidarity and the international treaties subscribed to by its member states, but it is also the result of a precise evolution which has led migrants to disappear as individuals and emerge only as juridical labels, deprived of any individual and substantial characteristics. This essay is a reconstruction of this process and an analysis in the same perspective of most recent European Commission documents on the subject.
