MIGRATION AS AN INSTRUMENT OF RUSSIA’S FOREIGN POLICY IN CENTRAL ASIA
https://doi.org/10.48137/23116412_2025_4_15
Abstract
The article employs institutional, structural-functional methods, and method of analysing regulatory and legal literature to identify the primary mechanisms that promote Russian national interests within the Central Asian region in the context of migration. These include concluding bilateral migration agreements and intergovernmental agreements in the humanitarian sphere with countries that send migrants, as well as managing cross-border remittance conditions. The results of the study can inform the development and implementation of Russia’s foreign policy strategy in Central Asia.
