The study gives attention to the general characteristics of international population migration with special focus on intercontinental migration from Africa to the European Union. Based on recent events on Lampedusa Island, in Malta and on the Greek islands, the author draws attention to the growing concern of the general public about the African "march" on Europe. He analyses the impacts of migration and argues that migration brings a large number of problems to European countries that fundamentally influence the politics of liberal-democratic nation-states and leads to the diversification and radicalisation of politics in Europe.
