The demographic growth of European Union is today largely due to international migration. The growth of migration flows has accelerated in the late 1990’s and is still high. At the same time, host countries have been diversified and intra-european mobility has increased. These new dynamics are also the next EU challenges in terms of diversity or economic integration.

Different types of connectedness
