Abstract

The authors of the article set the goal of examining, through an expert survey, discursive models about migration policy in modern Russia on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan (as a reflection of federal policy), which determine the nature of the strategic and managerial component of state policy. The authors designate the articulated models of migration policy - restrictiveness (strict restrictiveness) and promotiveness (liberal approach), as well as various principles of selectivity, which are complemented by accommodative approaches (adhoc) of regulation. The priority of the accommodative discourse in the conditions of the Republic of Tatarstan in the construction of the migration topic in the public expert space is proved. The object of the research is migration policy. The subject is the discursive foundations of migration policy and state migration policy. Russian Federation in the early 2000s in terms of the scale of the influx of labor migrants, it occupies one of the first places in the world. This requires a search for modern effective approaches to solving this problem. The scientific novelty is due to the fact that an analytical tool associated with accommodative discourse as an intermediate element of the "restriction - promotive" scale has been introduced into the subject field of political science. According to the results of the expert survey, the prevailing significance of the accommodative discourse on migration in the conditions of the Republic of Tatarstan was established.
