Аннотация

This article investigates the multifaceted challenges posed by migration processes to national unity and social stability within contemporary societies. Drawing on interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks from sociology, political science, and philosophy, it explores how migratory flows—accelerated by globalization—affect social cohesion, collective identity, and institutional resilience. The analysis highlights the tension between demographic diversity and the preservation of national solidarity, focusing on the dynamics of integration, cultural pluralism, and potential fragmentation. Through a critical review of empirical studies and conceptual models, the article elucidates the mechanisms through which migration influences social trust, political participation, and conflict emergence, offering insights into policy frameworks that could promote sustainable social stability while respecting cultural diversity.
