Abstract
The globality and dynamics of migration flows observed over the past decades have led to increased interest in the study of institutional structures and regulatory mechanisms aimed at guaranteeing and protecting the legal status of migrants, as well as observing the interests of the state in the context of national security and religious stability. In this regard, the article pays attention to the study of the concept of the migration policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan and its role in the development of measures to respond to national security challenges arising as a result of the migration of people from different regions of the world belonging to different denominations. It is substantiated that migration is an objective social regularity, historically inherent in all societies and maintaining its relevance due to the natural desire of individuals to improve living conditions, determined by socio-economic and political factors. The authors, using various scientific research methods, believe that this trend emphasizes the need to develop and improve the state migration policy based on the analysis of law enforcement practice and the activities of state bodies that ensure the realization of the constitutional right of citizens to freedom of movement, choice of place of residence, and freedom of conscience. It is concluded that the state should form a system of measures to influence migration processes, based on a complex of principles, normative provisions and methodological approaches, taking into account the provision of national security interests. Along with the analysis of the Kazakhstan Concept, the article conducts a comparative legal analysis of approaches to the regulation of migration and religious security in a number of foreign states (Germany, Canada, Singapore, Turkey), which allows to identify universal regularities and specifics of national models of migration policy in the context of ensuring stability.
