Abstract
International migration is a hot subject of modern scientific and political debates, towards which there is a mixed attitude. Evaluating the political, economic, social, and cultural consequences of migration and implementing and developing appropriate policies tailored to the country's interests is one of the important tasks of any country's domestic and foreign policy. Migration is a multidimensional process, which is the subject of various sciences such as sociology, demography, geography, history, economics, etc. representing the field of study. The chapter examines the political, social, and economic aspects of migration processes; analyzes the main directions, trends, and scales of international migration examines the importance of managing migration processes; discusses the growth factors of illegal emigration; examines the main causes of forced migration; and analyzes the role of the European Union in the migration policy management process.

International Migration and the Rights of Migrants Guaranteed by the Legislation of Georgia and Their Implementation
There is no universally accepted definition of the term “migrant” at the international level. Usually, the term “migrant” refers to all cases where a person decides to migrate freely, without coercion, which is dictated by considerations of “personal well-being” and occurs without the intervention of an external coercive factor. Thus, the term is used to refer to persons and their family members who move to another country or region to improve both their material and social conditions and their personal and family prospects for the future.
