This thesis aims to analyze the response of the European Union (EU) to migrations from the Middle East and North Africa and Ukraine. The securitization theory developed by the Copenhagen School is utilized in order to find out the differences in the EU’s response to these two migration movements. This thesis first illustrates the securitization of migration process at the EU level historically and institutionally. Then this thesis focuses on the response of the EU to the events such as the Arab Spring and invasion of Ukraine. It is argued that the EU's immigration policy is shaped according to the characteristics of immigrants. It asserts that the securitization of the EU's migration and refugee policies contradicts with universal human rights values in some cases. In order to demonstrate differences in terms of securitization of migration within the EU, this research analyzes the press conferences and statements of the European Council and the European Commission.
