Uticaj ekonomskih migracija na savremenu geopolitiku - demografska perspektiva

Abstract

In the modern world, migration is an extremely complex and dynamic process that has a great impact on the demographic, economic and political development of a country. Monitoring migration trends and phenomena is crucial for their understanding, especially when it is taken into account that the number of economic migrants in developed countries has increased significantly in the last few years. Migrants today shape the political and economic system of many countries and thus change the structure of the world geopolitical order. Contemporary authors speak of geopolitics as the geography of politics, the spatial dimension of politics that is motivated by the concrete interests of various state and non-state actors. One of the key factors of geopolitics is the population, since it is used to achieve the most effective and firmest possession of the territory. Through this paper, an approach based on economic migrants and how they shape contemporary geopolitics will be addressed. The initial idea will be discussed from the theoretical point of view of economic migration, and further elaborated through the point of view of contemporary geopolitics and economic migration. Also, the idea about the relationship between demographic transition and geopolitics will be discussed. Finally, through the analysis of demopolitics, an insight into how contemporary geopolitics is developing and in which direction it could develop in the future will be given. The aim of this paper is to present as best as possible the interdependence of geopolitical decisions and economic migration trends.
