Özet:

This research paper has analysed the theoretical aspects and dimensions of the EU’s External Migration Policy and its implications for the transit countries and the countries of origin by focusing on the case of the Kingdom of Morocco as a country of origin and a transit country considered to be the closest African country to the European territories. In this research, the methodology of the empirical study has taken an important place. For this reason, the external migration policy of the European Union towards one of its neighbouring countries and one of the transit countries for irregular migrants was examined from an empirical and qualitative perspective. As a result, it is necessary to make the analysis based on various data from articles, newspapers, reports of international organizations, academic works of some scholars on the issue of migration, and other statistics and data regarding the numbers of refugees, irregular migrants and the dead bodies found in the Moroccan and Spanish Mediterranean coastlines using Morocco as a transit country to cross illegally to European territories.
