THE INFLUENCE OF MIGRATION ON THE IDENTITY OF THE HOST SOCIETY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOCIAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: The new threats and vulnerabilities generated by uncontrolled migration have produced at the level of European Union`s Member States the need to segment the social security component of the usual politico-economic analysis in order to ensure a unique interpretation, justified by both reporting on the integration of newcomers and also of speed, the extent and identity of migration. Updating the modern European state through multicultural policies and ensuring a limited tolerance on the issue of migration opened new fronts to the public debate brings to the forefront the need to establish a balance in the host communities, that have the responsibility for the decision political, cultural and economic effects on minority communities of migrants. Depending on the political views expressed, the social specifics and the tolerance of the local population, stronger multicultural relations will be established and the support offered to newcomers will be consistent. Within this debate, the hypothesis of altering the identity of the host states in the context of an accelerated migration was developed and belonging to national, European values, traditions, religion and institutions is attacked by identity pressure. After all, the fear of losing or eroding the identity of the majority national group in front of the newcomers is based on distrust and ignorance of the specific elements of the other community and also behavioural differences, both cultural and civilizational.
