Global Migration Challenges, International Organizations and European Politics

Abstract

Migration is a global issue. The period 2015-2016 is associated with the migration crisis, which touched several regions of the world at once and made and continues to make an impact on global world processes. The growth of migration flows leads to the need to understand the causes and the consequences of migration, including global migration trends. The following world migration trends and causes are considered: the growth of world population, overpopulation, climate change, demographic processes, the reduction of natural resources, and unresolved armed conflicts. The global problems of migration cannot be solved by the efforts of individual countries. An effective and coordinated cooperation of both state and supranational entities, such as the European Union, is necessary.
