Transnational mobility and security: conceptual frames, experiences and new perspectives for the European Union

Objective

The debate-taking place all over Europe about security and migration needs to become object of interdisciplinary research (political science, sociology, anthropology, education). The relationship between external and internal security has taken new forms in the last years. The internal security is not guaranteed any more just against the external aggression. Other variables have to be considered: areas of instability at the borders, unwanted migratory flows, and trans-national crime are new factors of insecurity. They are all connected with trans-national mobility. The new conditions of insecurity seem to be a consequence of the globalisation processes, which have to be managed in the frame of a new system of international relations, of co-operation and development, and of general recognition of human rights. This needs new institutions and regimes. New values and new legal frames, and more so, a common conscience of world security might be necessary.

The proposal deals with the notion of security in relationship to the issue of international migration, international co-operation and trans-national crime. The equation: unwanted migratory flows and criminal activities will be rejected, trans-national crime being considered a consequence of globalisation processes and trafficking a growing activity because of the contradiction between free movement of capitals and bordered labour force. Migrants are the victims of trafficking: new studies presenting the experiences that trafficked people had, could help to avoid the equation illegal immigrants equal criminals which the European media are presently suggesting.
