Conceptual resources for studying migration issues in the circumpolar region: mobility, stratification and globalization optics

Migration issues are considered from mobile, stratification and globalization approaches. Emphasizing the importance of the classical theories in their development, the article reviews the conceptual works related to migration studies, as well as empirical projects implemented by specific research centers. Theoretical statements are supported by the analysis of the main indicators of statistical data migration in the circumpolar region. The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate the heuristic possibilities which considered theoretical optics have for solving urgent problems of migration in the Arctic.
