This article deals with European immigration control and integration policies as public policies. Control and integration are the two main drivers of immigration policy. From a comparative perspective, the distinction between economic and political migration is made and the occupational and labour situation for northern and southern European countries is presented. Some of the differences between European countries in the interplay of control and integration policies are analysed in relation to transnationalism and the construction of a European identity.

El artículo contextualiza el debate sobre modernización, modernidad y el concepto de riesgo en las sociedades donde los peligros medioambientales han inducido a una profunda revisión de las prospectivas de futuro por parte de los actores sociales responsables (administración, instituciones, expertos, etc.), y de los afectados, en términos de cambio social. A partir de la mayor concienciación ecológica de los ciudadanos afectados y el desarrollo de movimientos tendentes a replantear las políticas de medio ambiente, se presenta la evolución del contenido de los conceptos de modernización ecológica, reflexiva, simple, asumiendo la prevención del riesgo global y exento de responsabilidad atribuible a ningún gobierno, partido político o clase social en concreto. ; This paper contextualises the debate on modernisation, modernity and the concept of risk in societies where environmental dangers have engendered a profound revision of future prospects by the pertinent social players (administration, institutions, experts, etc.), and affected parties, in terms of social change.
