The impact of migration flows on the formation of Sweden’s national identity

Abstract

The scientific article examines the problems of migration processes in Sweden and how these problems have affected national identity in Sweden. In the context of globalization and the information society, the problem of identity crisis is one of the urgent problems. Extensive immigration has caused serious tension in Swedish society and affected the country's national identity. Integration issues currently affect most policy areas. For this reason, the Government often reviews migration policy in order to create better conditions for successful integration.

Over time, Swedish ethno-national politics has evolved from acculturation to multiculturalism. The novelty of the study lies in determining the impact of migration processes on the national identity of Sweden. The practical recommendations for Sweden were formulated, as well as important approaches were identified for the formation and strengthening of national identity that Kazakhstan can borrow from foreign experience. The study focuses on the analysis of Sweden's national policy and its impact on the formation of socio-economic priorities, as well as on the development of interethnic relations in the context of modern challenges.

The results show that migration processes have not only led to demographic diversity in Sweden, but also initiated an active rethinking of national identity. This process is accompanied by opportunities for cultural and social enrichment, as well as challenges related to integration and social cohesion. The presented research contributes to a broader understanding of the relationship between migration and the formation of national identity in a modern multicultural society.
