Summary/Abstract: International migration is a complex phenomenon that, beyond the displacement of population from one country to another, involves a number of elements with direct impact on State and national security. This paper briefly exposes some of the most popular models of migration, which correlates the international dimension of the phenomenon with the national one, focusing afterwards on the analysis in the European Union. In this context, the Romanian case study offers a clear illustration of the main trends prevailing at national and regional level. The phenomenon of international migration generates in our country both challenges and opportunities of demographic, social and economic nature, Romania having a triple stance: although it is mainly a country of origin for migrants, it is simultaneously a country of transit and destination.
