Abstract
The article analyzes the paradoxes of migration processes in EU countries, the main center of migrant's attraction. The authors examine positive and negative aspects of migration, its role as a structural factor of socio-economic and demographic development of EU countries. Disagreements between EU countries during the refuges crisis in 2015-2016, priority to the national migration policies were changed to new approaches for common regulation and migration policy and New Migration and Asylum Pact was adopted in 2024 as a base for legislation and common migration reform. The authors use empirical, statistical and comparative methods for defining the specifics of internal and external migrations based on analysis of the EU and international organizations documents, national and foreign scientific literature and interdisciplinary approach to identify socio-cultural and legislative norms and migration`s consequences, creation of ethnic diasporas. Interaction between new migration trends and demography and its influence on the place of EU in the emerging world order is examined in the article. Taking into consideration unpredictability and multifactorial nature of migration, the authors conclude that the growth of migration to EU would be undulating and volatile depending on socio-economic and political processes in sending and receiving countries, geopolitical situation and balance of powers in the world. Comprehensive analysis of migration in EU will allow to use the results for modernization of Russian Federation migration policy.
