Migration is at the heart of the current political debate in Europe. Moreover,
the migration crisis has disclosed a number of normative and ethical issues
connected to the current management of migration in the EU. This report provides
a preliminary insight into the EU’s policy on migration. It looks specifically
at the terms the EU chooses, the definitions it devises and the concepts and
understandings it endorses in its migration policies. In order to grasp the actual
working of an emerging EU Migration System of Governance (EUMSG), the
same terms, concepts and definitions are also examined with reference to a set
of national cases: Italy, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Hungary, Greece
and Norway
