REGIONALISATION AND INTEGRATION IN CENTRAL ASIA: MIGRATION ISSUES

Regionalisation and integration processes are an integral part of the process of globalisation in the early 21st Century. Of particular relevance this issue is in the region of Central Asia, which emerged after the disintegration of the USSR. Faced with a variety of common problems in the process of co-existence for over 20 years, the countries of the region have not yet found effective ways to address it and have not developed the mechanisms of integration. Migration processes in the region, along with security issues, environmental and energy problems are an important component of the sustainable development of the countries in question. These processes have a significant impact on the socio- economic, political and demographic landscape of the region and cause the need to develop new approaches, based on cooperation and integration.
