The authors of the paper set the goal of examining the theoretical aspects of migration and showing the relationship between the influence of this social phenomenon on the political processes of the state and state policy in general. The authors highlight the main interdisciplinary approaches to the definition of the term “migration” with the aim of concretizing it in political science within the framework of the study. The study also answers the question of the relationship between "policy" and "politics" within a migration policy by comparing "state migration policy" and "migration policy", concerning which there is a different interpretation. The object of research is migration. The subject is migration policy and state migration policy. The topic is relevant because in the early 2000s migration acquired a new global scale under the influence of many heterogeneous factors often caused by adverse economic, social and socio-psychological conditions, as well as military conflicts of an interreligious and ethnopolitical nature. The research uses systemic, comparative, institutional, and ethnopolitical approaches. The systematization of approaches presents the scientific novelty to the definition of migration, as well as by the mutual influence of migration processes and political and administrative decisions.

We live in a rapidly changing world in which macro vulnerabilities and political instability have created global disorder. There is a continued rise in the number of migrants in various part of the world. The migration crisis is a human crisis which is having a significant impact on economic, political and social groups. Globally, one in every 122 human beings is now either a refugee, internally displaced or seeking asylum. This represents an increase of over a third in the last five years. This paper attempts to look into the causes and challenges of migration. It discusses various migration crisis to understand their origin, nature and consequences. It also highlights the current situation across a major part of the world. Although there seems to be no immediate solution in the near future, it is important to analyze this issue continuously and contribute towards finding solutions. The present study suggests some practical solutions from an academic point of view.

Migration, Social Inequality and Social Developments, 2020

Migration, which is a phenomenon as old as human history, has pointed to the spatial mobility of people due to different reasons throughout history. Migration movements, which have always been seen in the human history of 300 thousand years, have changed the structures of the world and social orders. In this context, natural events, wars, economic, political and so on. Many factors are the causes of human migration. The phenomenon of migration has important effects on the social and spatial structure of the settlements that receive migration as well as on the migrants. In this article, after discussing migration conceptually, the effects of migration on the social and spatial structure of the settlements that receive migration will be discussed and the effects of the relationship between the causes of migration, social integration and / or social segregation on the social structure will be discussed. The characteristic features of our age are reflected in migration and migration forms, and the phenomenon of migration in the 21st century appears with similar qualities as in the past. But migration movements made in different ages should be interpreted specifically, because the developments experienced make each migration unique. Therefore, social work, which handles and tries to explain the phenomenon of migration, should understand the new features of the new phenomenon of migration well and develop its models and theories within this framework. Studies dealing with the phenomenon of migration which has acquired a multi-layered and complex structure should distinguish between migration and immigrants and analyze the individual and structural reasons of migration and the effects of these reasons on the shaping of migration. This kind of work brings a review of migration theories and models. Therefore, I will talk about the effect of migration theories in my article. This study suggests that the periods of the phenomenon of migration emerged was shaped by the political, economic and cultural determinants, especially by focusing on the theories which are explaining migration flows. Also, changes in the political and economic structures of the countries of origin will be discussed. Because, in terms of individuals and communities, migration not only corresponds to a spatial change, but also causes change and transformation in the meaning and value world of the individual and society.

Migration is the movement of people from one place to the other with the aim of living in the new country. There are cases of international migration where one moves to another country. Migration takes the form of individual migration, family, migration, Citizenship, on the other hand, is a state of one being recognized by the laws a country. This paper analyses the migration experiences of a first generation migrant who was an asylum seekers in UK using the theories of push-pull theory and asylum, Diaspora and Transnationalism, multiculturalism, and social networks and social capital. Methodology My interviewee is a first generation migrant from Uganda and applied for asylum in UK when he arrived in 2000 he was a highly skilled having had a good education. He left Uganda to come to the UK and made the decision to seek asylum as he was fearful of his life. Upon application for asylum he was able to bring his wife as he was granted refugee. His process of settling in the UK was not a difficult one as he knew Ugandans in the UK and had support I have known my interview as I meet him at one of the Ugandan community centres were they usually meet to share our experiences in UK and I believe his migration experience is very interesting as it fits with the different areas within migration debate and he consented to be interviewed. The study involved carrying out an interview with a questionnaire guide. This method allowed me and the participant to have a face to face interview and get a better of understanding the participant’s perspective of their migration experience in their own words. The reason for this is that the interviewee was telling their personal experience freely in a logical way the realities of what it means to be an immigrant with flexibility in the way the participant responded, (Burns, 2000). I request the interviewee about being a participant and he agreed we arranged the time, place and date. The interview took about an hour. On the day of the interview we meet at the agreed place (public) I informed him that I was going to record the interview so that I could transcribe it and analyse it for my essay.
