Migration processes are highlighted as a social phenomenon that determines the state of both individual states and the entire world community. It is emphasized that today migration is one of the most urgent problems not only of social, but also economic and political spheres. In recent decades, there has been a significant revival of migration processes associated with political and socio-economic upheavals in the lives of many countries in the world. The complexity of this phenomenon often leads to contradictions between the interests of the state (including the entire world community as a global mechanism of social organization) and the rights of an individual, nation, ethnic group. In this regard, migration processes are a means of adapting people to the changes that are happening, which explains the relevance of their comprehensive research. Numerous statistics on migration processes, as well as other data in the field of migration research, need to be considered, which will make some migration fluidity more understandable and possibly more controlled and manageable. Concepts such as «migration», «migration process» and their relation are considered. The basic conceptual models (bases) of migration policy are investigated. Keywords: migration; migration policy.
