Migration is playing a central role in shaping the European Union. European integration and the freedom of movement it brings with it have contributed to population changes within European societies. The recent increase in migration and refugee flows to Europe has complicated these dynamics. EU member states have struggled to adopt new policies in order to manage migration flows and to combat rising xenophobia and racism. Caterina Guidi will analyze the impact of migrants on European societies and how the EU intends to face this challenge politically and culturally.
