Securitización y condicionalidad migratoria de la política de desarrollola Unión Europea y Marruecos (1999-2019)

Resum

The object of study of this doctoral thesis is the migration-related conditionality of the EU Development Policy in Morocco, which arises as a consequence of a process of (in)securitization of migrations. We analyze it through a case study oriented to the actors and processes involved in this phenomenon.The research is located in the time period from 1999 to 2019. The beginning of this period is justified by the emergence of the external dimension of the EU Migration Policy, after the 1999 Tampere European Council. The dynamics of (in)securitization and migration-related conditionality of the EU in the last two decades are analyzed. In particular, the focus is on the migration policy crisis of 2015, which resulted in the adoption of four strategies by the EU: the European Agenda on Migration, the Valletta Declaration, the Trust Fund for Africa and the Partnership Framework with third countries.The thesis is based on a postpositivist and reflectivist epistemology and on the theoretical framework of the Securitization Theory. In particular, the object of study is looked at from the structuralist constructivism of International Political Sociology developed by the Paris School of Security Studies. This approach is part of the so-called Critical Security Studies. In Spain, the epistemic community attached to this last trend is still very small, unlike what happens in other European countries such as France, the United Kingdom or Denmark...
