Migration policy and national security challenges in globalization conditions

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