However, it deals explicitly with figuring out why the EU continued to securitize the issue despite knowing the reasons for such an occurrence. Using document analysis and Copenhagen School as a theoretical guide, this research answers the following questions: (1) How did the EU securitize irregular migration from North Africa (2015-Present)? (2) Why did the EU not desecuritize irregular migration from North Africa? and (3) What are the implications of the EU’s failure to desecuritize irregular migration from North Africa (2015-Present)?

The study concludes that the EU must embrace tackling the root causes of migration, mainly by undergoing desecuritization with consideration of its context.
