Migration crisis in european politics: The ethnic discourse

Abstract

In this article are considered actual problems of migration policy in context of global changes of migration processes and amplification of non-regulated migration. Inevitability of change of economical-pragmatic and culturological discourse of migration policy to ethnic-conflictological in connection with global challenges of international policy and prevailing of illegal migration processes over legal is grounded. On basis of content analysis of foreign publications for period of 2013-2016 dedicated to migration policy is stated the amplification of scientists' attention to ethnic-political and ethnic-cultural problems of non-regulated migrations. There are emphasized major factors of actualization of ethnic-conflictologic discourse of migration policy, to which are related growth of ethnic-political claims of ethnic-social communities and confessionally united groups of migrants, inter-civilization culturological challenges, radicalization of ethnicity of migrants and autochthonous population of receiving countries. Possible variants of scenario of development of migration policy of receiving countries in connection to influx of illegal migrants, refugees, are shown. Attempt of finding the balance between liberalization of migration legal standards and stiffening of means of fight with illegal trans-border migration can turn into ethnic-social disaster. Analysis of transformations of migration policy of modern Europe is based upon conflictological theory of "structural violence" by Johan Galtung, from position of which migration politic as social institute acts as a source of structural deprivation in modern society. Migration policy of European countries, subordinated to doctrine of "humanitarian intervention", in fact legalizes development of system of a new ethnic-colonialism, and became a source of development of ethnic-political tension in region.
