MIGRATION AND REFUGEE CRISIS IN EUROPE. THE GERMAN AND UK RESPONSE TO THIS EXODUS

In the present paper, the authors intend to make an exploration upon the political and legislative studies of the European Union regarding the refugee crisis, through an analisys of the EU studies on the migration and the asylum policy, presenting new potential approaches in this difficult situation and trying to offer political recommendations and possible suggestions for further analyses. The imigrants entered the European Union using maritime and terrestrial ways, ways that proved to be dangerous and fatal in many cases, thus leading to a devastating humanitarian crisis in all Europe. In this respect, the European Union officials tried to create immigration policies based on the cross-border management and increased security norms. Nevertheless, many authors, researchers, groups and non-governmental organizations counter-attacked this approach and invited the European Union to extend its policies for including also less radical measures. Until now, the Union stays fragmented and undecised about offering a concrete answer for this situation. The authors refer to: the individual interest of the immigrating persons, the quantitative-type interest, operating the analysis of the official public written documents with certain judgement and responsibility, the bibliographic method, the theoretic modelling method. For a better understanding, the paper presents a comparative analysis between the approaching modalities of the refugee crisis in Germany and Great Britain, evidencing the differences between the two countries EU members in managing the increased number of refugees.
