Abstract

This article examines migration from a security-centered legal perspective, highlighting the tendency to securitize this phenomenon in the context of international instability. Irregular migration is reinterpreted as a potential risk to public order and state stability, thereby legitimizing the adoption of strengthened control and prevention measures at both national and European levels. The analysis emphasizes the interdependence between the competences of Member States and those of the European Union, as well as the need for institutional cooperation in managing transnational risks. In this context, migration becomes a strategic domain in shaping security policies, influencing both legal intervention mechanisms and the overall direction of public action.
