The relevance of this study is determined by the strengthening of migration processes, caused by the development and deepening of globalization and integration processes, and the emergence of the opposing processes. It has been indicated that migration processes influence greatly the direction and pace of development of the global and domestic economy, demographic processes in most countries, enhancement or reduction of the social standards, and other aspects of our lives. It has been determined that nowadays our country doesn't have any unified comprehensive concept of the migration policy that would give the country and its citizens opportunity to become high-grade members of the European Community, keep and fully protect their civil, labour and social rights and freedoms. The aim of the study is to analyze the modern migration policy of the European countries and to define recommendations on the strengthening of the communication between domestic and European migration policy. Methods of the systemic, structural analysis, logical analysis, factual analysis and situational approach have been used in order of achieving the stated aim. During the study it has been found that modern migration policy of the European countries is formed under the influence of the defined factors: demographics, significant changes in conditions of the modern labour market, increase of the intensity of external migration flows, military conflicts on the territory of Ukraine and Syria, deepening of the problem of international terrorism, permanent financial crisis in some countries of the European Union, the referendum in the UK on the decision to exit the EU. According to the results of the research, recommendations on the necessity to study and apply the fundamentals and principles of the European migration policies in defined spheres have been formed.

The article is dedicated to the study of the concept of Normative Power Europe as well as to the critical analysis of this concept against the background of the negotiation process as for the conclusion of the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine. Normative Power Europe has been often offered as a major explanatory tool for understanding EU's foreign policy, particularly with regards to its relations with the countries included in the Neighborhood Policy. The article offers analysis of the transformation of the internal political situation in Ukraine against the background of the continuation of these negotiations as well as of the initiatives and priorities that the EU had in this process. The article provides insight into the dramatic period of the negotiation process within years 2010–2014 and explains different aspects of the bargaining instruments utilized for the negotiation process. Separately, EU relations with Russia are analyzed against the background of the mentioned negotiations. The major conclusion of the offered analysis is the thesis that the concept of Normative Power Europe was not the basis of the EU policies towards Ukraine during the negotiation process as for the conclusion of the Association Agreement. Furthermore, the EU relations with Russia in the context of the development of the "Ukrainian crisis" reinforce the limitations of the use of the concept of Normative Power Europe both due to the absence of asymmetry in EU relations with other global actors and due to the priority of EU's own interests over the moral and philosophical principles put at the foundations of the concept of Normative Power Europe.
