Illegal immigration: a strategic approach towards the New Threat. Germany’s case study

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze illegal immigration as New Threat, under an approach from Strategic Studies. Divided in two parts, firstly, a theoretical-conceptual one, in which considerations and explanation of concepts are accomplished, and then a case study that analyzes the phenomenon of illegal immigration in Germany, the paper sustains, open to popperian verification of results, the argument that illegal immigration fits, indeed, in the framework of 'strategic threat'
