ანტი-მიგრანტული განწყობა და მისი გავლენა ქვეყნის მიგრაციულ პოლიტიკაზე

Nowadays, migration levels have significantly increased in the world. Globalisation and
interdisciplinary relations made borders between countries unseen, which was a contributing
factor of migration. Migration is not a new phenomenon due to historical processes. The change
in transport and technology has led people to move around, which is the main motive for a safe
environment and a desire to live a better life.
There is also a similar political discourse in Georgia that has been linked to the increase
of the number of immigrants that are considered to be a threat to the country's population and
consider immigrants to be incompatible with the country's national identity. According to the
research hypothesis, the anti-migrant sentiment in the society determines the state's
immigration policy, which makes it even more intense, making the anti-migrant sentiment in
the community more intensive. During the research I used the qualitative research
methodology: Content Analysis, which I used to study the anti-migrant sentiments in society,
also used the analysis of state documents, based on the study of the immigration policy of the
State and its change in 2005-2019. In order to study the causes of this change, I conducted
expert interviews with the help of which I received objective results.
The main findings of the research showed that the migration policy of the country is
partially influenced by the attitude of the society but there are many other factors that change
the immigration policy.
