The global problem of food security and access to quality products is of great importance not only for the local communities, but also for migrants. The study focuses on the agricultural and food policy of the European Union, which seeks to become "greener" and eliminate the abundance of nitrates and pesticides that are harmful to human health. At the same time, the issue of interaction and penetration of the migrants' dietary traditions and their "ethnic cuisine" into the societies of the host countries arises. Food habits do not always have exceptional "usefulness", but in light of cooperation between countries and the influx of migrants from different cultures, it has become a "norm" or "tradition". The article provides a comparative analysis of the global trend of openness with local trends in the projection of "protective barriers", in particular for the migration community. Cooperation between European countries should play a key role in maximizing the positive impact of migration. It is important to highlight the very strong links that exist between food security, agriculture and rural development, other sectors of development cooperation

The global problem of food security and access to quality products is of the great importance not only for the population of countries, but also for migrants. The study focuses on the example of the agricultural and food policy of the European Union, which seeks to become greener and eliminate the abundance of nitrates and pesticides that are harmful to human health. At the same time, the issue of interaction and penetration dietary traditions of migrants and the "ethnic cuisine of migrants" into the societies of the host countries arises, which is of a local nature. Food habits do not always have exceptional "usefulness", but with the development of cooperation between countries and the influx of migrants from different cultures and corners of the world, it has become the part of the "norm" or "tradition". The purpose of this study is a comparative analysis of the global trend of openness with local trends in the projection of "protective barriers", in particular for the migration community. Cooperation between European countries should play a key role in maximizing the positive impact of migration, starting with a better understanding of the link between the two. It is important to highlight the very strong links that exist between food security, agriculture and rural development, and other sectors of development cooperation.

This study has been suggested by the huge importance of labor migration for the social and economic development of the South Caucasian post-Soviet space. Confronted with an unprecedented outflow of their citizens and acutely aware of the problems associated with migration of able-bodied population to other countries, Russia among them, these countries have arrived at a conclusion that their migration policies need reforms. The article analyzes the trends of labor migration from the South Caucasian countries to Russia and other equally popular destinations. The migration trends up to and including Russia's regions with the maximum numbers of labor migrants from the Southern Caucasus and the structure of their employment by industry are also analyzed. The paper contains statistics on the amounts of remittances sent by labor migrants from Russia to their homelands and assesses their impact on the economies of corresponding states. The cultural and economic contacts between the diasporas and the countries of their origin suggested a comparative analysis of their emergence and development. We have identified the typical industries preferred by representatives of each of the South Caucasian states in Russia, and the documents required of migrants to be employed in Russia. Conclusions related to the specifics of influence and the role of the diasporas in the structure of their employment are contained in the final part of our article along with the identified patterns and trends of these processes. Today, the situation on the market is unbalanced when it comes to job availability and the positions of members of these diasporas. The situation will remain the same as long as diasporas preserve their influence and the migration flows, their proportions. We have identified the most attractive regions in terms of job availability, the spread of migrants from the Southern Caucasus across the regions of the Russian Federation and the rivalry between Azeris, Armenians, and Georgians for jobs in various employment spheres.

Examining the ongoing processes of migration in Europe and beyondCase studies focusing on Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and South AmericaIntegrates issues of current migration and boundary-making processesVarious experts discussing social and political factors pertaining to current dynamics of migration and boundary-making in different cultural settingsSociological and political analyses of current trends in transnational migration and reborderingBrings together studies from different continentsThis book deals with the ongoing processes of migration and boundary-(re)making in Europe and other parts of the world. It takes stock of recent and hitherto unpublished research on the refugee crisis in Europe, migration dynamics in the Middle East and migration flows in Africa and Latin America, specifically in relation to their political, social and cultural framing. In particular, chapters in this collection focus on newer cases of transnational migration and their socio-political implications. Alongside the refugee and migrant crisis in Europe, which can be seen as one of the most divisive political issues in recent European history, new patterns of migration and re-bordering can also be seen across Europe, the Middle East and beyond. These include both the rise of anti-immigration populism within the nation-states and practices of discouraging migration at the regional level such as the EU
