Immigration in Europe. What demographic evolution? What geographical dynamics? What geopolitical factors?

Immigration in Europe is the subject of debate without a consensus appearing possible on the reality of this phenomenon. Some denounce a “Sieve Europe”; others a “Fortress Europe”. As for the mediatized figures on the evolution of immigration in Europe, they are often not very precise, even inappropriate. All this justifies the need for clarity on immigration in Europe. In this respect, the available data first allows us to consider immigration on the scale of the European continent and its explanatory, attraction and repulsion factors. The analysis of its geographical dynamics highlights differentiated results, the causes of which must be analyzed.
