Summary/Abstract |
IN 2014-2016, a migration crisis loomed large in the discussions held by the European Commission (EC) and the governments of the EU member states. Migration and its consequences sparked a massive public outcry in Europe. According to the polls carried out by the Standard Eurobarometer back in 2013, the Europeans started to give higher priority to migration problems than to issues such as taxes, pensions, education, and even terrorism, and in 2015, the problem was already second on the list of their priority concerns after unemployment. The Eurobarometer records for 2015 underline that resolving problems related to the growth of migration became a priority task for both various European institutions and national governments.1 In conditions of a complicated social and economic situation, authorities of the EU member states encounter problems when trying to explain to their populations a need to provide employment to migrants and integrate them in the economy.2 A growing public discontent with the mass influx of illegal migrants gave rise to an increased growth of nationalist and anti-EU sentiments in many EU countries. Characteristically, political parties speculating on the Islamic factor have bolstered their influence, while a "radicalization of public opinion which has been continuously growing in the past few years contradicts the fundamental goals of the European integration."

The French Republic was among the major actors participating in the aforementioned events. A new monograph by EA.

Summary/Abstract |
THE BLACK SEA is a traditional crossroads of civilizations through which run currents of Orthodox Christianity, Islam and Western culture. Located at the crossroads of Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, rich in natural resources, and containing significant economic potential, the Black Sea region is a strategically important zone. Its location and growing role in matters of energy transit are raising its geopolitical significance as a link between Europe and the Caspian region, while also playing a role in heightening security problems.
