- Abstract
- Since the summer of 2015, European states seem to be facing several challenges linked to the massive influx of asylum seekers. Such chaos has never been so evident in the European management of newcomers. Indeed, despite the scale of the phenomenon - asylum applications have doubled in the 2015/2016 period compared to the figures of previous years - Member States are reluctant to speed up the processing of cases and grant protection to asylum seekers. Against a background of radicalization of the political spectrum, states’ reluctance to "welcome" migrants reinforces the "nodes" already existing in the global mobility circuit, leaving no choice to a large number of newly arrived families in Europe than to stay in the streets while waiting for the outcome of their application.
