Summary/Abstract: European and neighboring countries in Europe have been experiencing an intensification of the migration phenomenon in recent years. One of the causes that has led to new migration flows are the crises and conflicts that followed the Arab Spring. Maintaining the security of societies depends on the way states and governments handle the issue of migration. The states response depends on the way migration is perceived either as a burden making states fragile, even destabilizing them, or as a long-term advantage. The states response also comes as a result of securitizing or desecuritizing migration.
