Main Article Content

Abstract

This note presents some significant points that form the backdrop to the immigration question in Europe. It maintains that the greater part of the immigrant population is actually in advanced stages of the migratory process, with the prospect of lasting stability. Its opinion is that the moment has come to give priority to a policy of integration, with references to situations of marginalization. It also talks about globalisation and its unequal effects with regard to North and South, relating it to the question of development in originating countries as an alternative to migration. It ends with a reference to the possibility of emigrants returning to their own countries.
