MIGRATION AND SECURITY - ECONOMIC AND SOCIETAL DIMENSIONS
MIGRATION AND SECURITY - ECONOMIC AND SOCIETAL DIMENSIONS

Summary/Abstract: Migration has always accompanied the evolution of humanity. Nowadays, considering the global dynamics, it has acquired new meanings, new dimensions and, obviously, its importance should be reassessed. In these circumstances, understanding migration requires deepening the research of its implications to the destination societies and an integrated, multidisciplinary approach. A long period migration was investigated from a historical, sociological or humanitarian perspective. However, the global economic integration, the dynamics of international interests and the flexibility of the new economic mechanisms have brought into attention the relation between migration and economy. Therefore, combining economic, social and strategic approaches, the theoretical and scientific view on migration establishes new areas of study, new socio-economic theories. This paper aims to investigate the relation between migration and security from economic and societal perspectives by making a brief analysis of migration impacts on the host countries. In the same time, all of these impacts are considered subordinated to the necessity of an optimal and stable security environment while achieving an effective management of diversity.
