The European continent has been facing a significant challenge causing social, economic and political inequality among not only the countries, regions and cities but also the community members. What would be problematic within this broad context is to formulate a European immigration policy irrespective of framing a European immigration policy. Some primary issues, such as economic and employment integration, public goods sharing, ethnic and cultural diversity, social and political participation should be discussed in terms of the EU policy goals. Having applied the nationalism theory, this research scrutinizes nationalism and immigration influx in France. The study analysed that the French policy-making process and the political rhetoric that influenced the immigration flow in France; those policies did not integrate the immigrants or stabilize France's situation. This analysis illustrates that France is becoming one of the toughest countries in Western Europe concerning its immigration laws and measures, which trigger the nationalistic sentiments. Nationalism, nevertheless, and its naturally opposing organization can also mutually boost anxieties and disputes in Europe, especially in France. The paper concludes that there is a paradigm shift in understanding immigration as a concept; throughout the twentieth century, it was considered a positive factor that proves France's attractiveness, which altered the perception of nation and the citizenship.

欧洲民族主义的复兴和法国的移民挑战

欧洲大陆一直面临重大挑战，不仅在国家、地区和城市之间，而且在社区成员之间造成社会、经济和政治不平等。在这个广泛的背景下，有问题的是制定欧洲移民政策而不考虑制定欧洲移民政策。一些主要问题，如经济和就业一体化、公共产品共享、种族和文化多样性、社会和政治参与，应该从欧盟政策目标的角度来讨论。运用民族主义理论，本研究审视了法国的民族主义和移民涌入。该研究分析了影响法国移民流动的法国决策过程和政治言论；这些政策并没有融合移民或稳定法国的局势。这一分析表明，法国在移民法律和措施方面正在成为西欧最严厉的国家之一，这引发了民族主义情绪。然而，民族主义及其自然对立的组织也会在欧洲，尤其是在法国，相互加剧焦虑和争端。该论文的结论是，将移民理解为一个概念存在范式转变；在整个二十世纪，它被认为是证明法国吸引力的积极因素，它改变了对国家和公民身份的看法。这引发了民族主义情绪。然而，民族主义及其自然对立的组织也会在欧洲，尤其是在法国，相互加剧焦虑和争端。该论文的结论是，将移民理解为一个概念存在范式转变；在整个二十世纪，它被认为是证明法国吸引力的积极因素，它改变了对国家和公民身份的看法。这引发了民族主义情绪。然而，民族主义及其自然对立的组织也会在欧洲，尤其是在法国，相互加剧焦虑和争端。该论文的结论是，将移民理解为一个概念存在范式转变；在整个二十世纪，它被认为是证明法国吸引力的积极因素，它改变了对国家和公民身份的看法。
