Abstract
The phenomenon of migration is as old as human history. The reasons for migration
were numerous. Some of them were voluntary and others were forced. As in the past, today it
is intensively approaching the explanation of migration, with some glorifying it, and others
marginalizing it. Migration processes are continually linked to current contemporary social,
political, economic, social, cultural and security developments.
In certain countries and regions, the question arises as to whether migration brings
them development, stagnation, stability or insecurity? The effects of international migration
can be interpreted in many ways. On the one hand, the dynamics of the economic processes of
globalization have increased mobility of people, capital and services that have enabled people
to improve their economic status, to gain a higher level of education and better health care
services. On the other hand, there are assurances that migration is one of the global issues that
led to fundamental changes and the creation of new structures and a different development of
international relations in the world.
The migration processes have increased the risks and threats to national and regional
security. Trinity migration, security and globalization are closely linked to the emergence of
conflicts, hunger, poverty, climate change, economic crises and political repression. In
particular, current migration movements with religious and fundamentalist content were trigger
for deterioration the security situation in foreign countries. Due to the security implications of
migration, the perception of security in many countries has changed, and political nationalist
movements have been formed, whose views have been directed to protecting from the waves
of migrants.
