The impact of migration on security and policy responses in EU and especially Greece and Cyprus.
Thesis
This research examines how migration and security policies work together in European Union states that face direct migration pressure from the East, it analyzes how movement patterns from unstable regions of Middle East and North Africa together with Asia affect security perspectives and policy decisions across European nations. Moreover it examines what rules determine migration control while analyzing the conflict between safety measures and human rights and describes how these regulations affect how migrants live. The essay shows Greece serves as a main entry point into Europe while examining how their International Protection Act and EU-Turkey Statement affect their migration control systems. The complex location of Cyprus between East and West plus its Green Line border problems and high number of asylum seekers show why the country leads migration policy in its geographic area. These nations have trouble handling overloaded refugee facilities and lack resources because their populations dislike foreigners making it hard to integrate new immigrants. This dissertation looks at regional alliances to propose security policies that safeguard human rights. The research helps us understand how Eastern Mediterranean states manage migration while suggesting new methods for research like studying technology roles in migration policy. Additionally, it supports measures in the EU region that promote ethical migration management through sustainable teamwork.
