In my study "How does the Arab Spring impact the phenomena of illegal migration in the Mediterranean?" I have illustrated my argument by citing historical and political facts, which occurred before the Arab Spring. I have shown how the issue of migration was, in the period preceeding the Arab spring, particularly in Libya. I have also shown how the collapse of the Libyan regime has affected southern Mediterranean countries, especially Italy. I have studied in depth the policies of the European Union especially those, which adhere to the Dublin treaty. Another part of my study is showing how the EU is trying to deal with the growing problem of migration. Through primary and secondary sources, this study examines the general phenomena of illegal migration and the macro phenomena between Italy and Libya.
