Abstract:

The migratory situation of Southern Europe seems to be at a turning point, with the traditional migration of labor being replaced by a true economy of exchange comprising the movement of goods and persons between Northern and Southern Europe, and the development of a new multiform immigration from the Third World. The emergence of migration from outside Europe, which affects even Southern Europe, shows that the question of the future of migration cannot be excluded from the global debate on North-South relations. That important issue cannot simply be reduced to the problem of controlling the frontiers on Europe's southern flank. It requires action on the deeper causes of these phenomena and real development policy based on cooperation between the countries of the Third World and the European Member countries of the Organization for Economic and Cooperative Development.
