Therefore, migration has acquired special relevance by occupying a prominent position on the EU’s political, economic, cultural, and social agenda. The most recent migration crisis of 2015 represents a multidimensional challenge with severe consequences that affect, first, the institutional foundations of the EU (governance, security, solidarity of member states and institutional stability) and, second, the migratory policies of receiving states and the EU itself. This crisis is characterized, first, by the high number of illegal migrants that cross the Mediterranean, and, second, by the humanitarian tragedy and insecurity, which make the sea a grey area and an international reference in the migratory processes. The migration-security equation became a field of applied research and analysis, and at the same time a focus of political debate and public opinion. The article aims at analysing the crisis of 2015 and its consequences, which is done by means of the methodological approach based on the consequences that this phenomenon entails for the EU and for certain member states. The response of the EU is limited primarily to securitization by strengthening the external borders, turning towards internal security rather than respecting international and Community Treaties and promotion of their values, which contradicts the anticipated leadership of this global actor. The authors believe that it is necessary to implement new mechanisms in addition to ensuring greater effectiveness of the existing ones.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>На протяжении всей своей истории Европейский Союз (ЕС) всегда был центром притяжения разнообразных миграционных потоков. Соответственно, миграция стала предельно важной темой в политической, культурной и социальной повестке ЕС, в значительной степени определяя его позицию в каждой из этих сфер. Последний миграционный кризис, начавшийся в 2015 году, стал многомерным вызовом для ЕС с жесточайшими последствиями, которые сказались и на институциональных основаниях самого ЕС (управление, безопасность, солидарность стран-членов и институциональная стабильность), и на миграционной политике принимающих стран и ЕС. Нынешний миграционный кризис, характеризуется, во-первых, огромным и все возрастающим числом нелегальных мигрантов, которые перебираются в Европу через Средиземноморье, во-вторых, прежде невиданными масштабами гуманитарной катастрофы и отсутствия безопасности, которые превратили Средиземное море, по сути, в серую зону и фокус всех мировых дискуссий о миграционных процессах. Соотношение понятий миграции и безопасности стало предметом прикладных исследований и теоретического анализа и одновременно находится в центре политических дебатов и общественных дискуссий. В статье рассматривается миграционный кризис 2015 года и последствия, которые он несет для ЕС и тех его стран-членов, которые в наибольшей степени вовлечены в миграционные процессы. Авторы считают, что реакция ЕС на миграционный кризис оказалась преимущественно сведена к политике обеспечения безопасности посредством усиления внешних границ и поддержки внутренней безопасности, вместо того чтобы выполнять международные и собственные соглашения и продвигать общеевропейские ценности, поэтому избранный ЕС курс на решение миграционного кризиса явно противоречит тому, чего от него ждут как от глобального игрока. Авторы делают вывод, что сегодня необходимы новые механизмы решения миграционных проблем наряду с повышением эффективности уже имеющихся.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>international migration</kwd><kwd>European Union</kwd><kwd>securitization</kwd><kwd>crisis management</kwd><kwd>governance</kwd><kwd>Mediterranean</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>международная миграция</kwd><kwd>Европейский Союз</kwd><kwd>политика обеспечения безопасности</kwd><kwd>управление кризисом</kwd><kwd>руководство</kwd><kwd>Средиземноморье</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Aragall X.
