To the dismantling of EU internal borders corresponds the construction of a European external boundary progressively broadening with the enlarging of the EU. In this frame Malta, as a recently accessed EU member state, turned out to be part of this widening European external boundary. As one of the most visible and locally sensitive consequences, since 2004 the island-state became the destiny of thousands of boat-migrants coming from the coasts of north-Africa. Following EU directives and policies the national response to such unexpected phenomena has been articulated mainly through the opening of numerous detention centres and the creation of diverse legal statuses for migrants.

The study is the result of fieldwork conducted by the authors, part of which is presented here.
