The purpose of this article is an attempt to analyze the European political game concentrated around the problem of African migration, based on the situation in Lampedusa Island in 2011, which we may call a border crisis. The article is focused on demonstrating cooperation in the sphere of relations between individual countries involved in solving the problem of the influx of immigrants, and the process of a transfer of interests of individual Member States to the sphere of the European Union. These considerations are part of a debate on re-bordering and establishing a second border range around Europe. The field of research outlined above will form grounds for formulating conclusions regarding the main questions: Was one of the aims of cooperation with African countries so far, border strengthening through the process of externalization, i.e. the process of establishing a second buffer border on the line of North African countries protecting against the influx of illegal migration? Considering the events taking place in North Africa in 2011, can we observe the consequences of breaking the framework of double borders in Europe? What is the impact of the action taken by individual Member States in limiting illegal migration on the process dynamics in the European Union?
