Migration policy and national security challenges in globalization conditions

Abstract. The authors discuss some pending issues related to migration in terms of ensuring national security of the countries involved in international integration processes; it is emphasized that security challenges are closely related with the formation and implementation of migration policy. The preconditions of forced and illegal migration types are identified together with their influence on the security state in different spheres of social life. It is shown that intensification of migration processes may have a very good economic effect and can be justified economically and politically. At the same time, it is proved that ungoverned migration is able to harm economy and put national security at risk, as it can strain social, economic, international or inter-religious contradictions and cause a growth in crime. Migration issues have become even more acute in the face of destabilizing trends running in the world including the growing number of refugees and stepping-up terrorist activities. Hence, prevention and mitigation of national security risks related with migration processes is becoming an urgent need for many countries that have to encounter with massive migration challenges. It is argued that the efficiency of a struggle with national security migration threats depends on a well-balanced cautious governmental policy including legal, economic and organizational mechanisms of migration control and regulation, which shall be supported by criminal justice response measures due to increased social risks.
