Summary/Abstract: The new world order established after the end of the Cold War has fragmented the nature of the elements perceived as “threats” as in many other fields, and the issue of migration and refugees have started to be debated in the field of “high politics”. At the same time, this period includes a process in which the association between international migration, threat and security becomes clear and migration has been politicized and securitized by its reflection on the policies implemented. Actually, when evaluated in general, it is seen that immigrants, who were regarded as necessary and efficient and encouraged by European states from after the Second World War until the 1974 Oil Crisis, and later on started to be regarded as undesirable people and even threats in Europe.
