Abstract:
The beginning of the XXI century can be described as postglobal. It is conditioned by various and even contradictory events and processes: the legacy of globalisation with the structures of the WB, EU, UN, NATO, which continue to function today, but, as the present shows, need to be modernised in view of the international relations of the modern times; mass migration, which significantly affects the development of local economies in particular, as well as the geo-economy in general, the «brain drain» and «brain gain» in certain regions of the world. These processes also have a significant impact on socio-cultural processes, namely acculturation. The scale of migration processes at the present stage of world development requires clarification of their content, causes and consequences, since they have a significant impact on all spheres of human and social life. The article determines that the defining characteristics of migration processes are socio-economic, military, environmental, religious, demographic, political, ethnic, educational, moral and psychological, etc.
