The article investigates the peculiarities of the migration policy of Sweden. Particular attention is paid to the current migration policy. From the experience of the past years, it is clear that the modern migration policy has the so-called historical memory closely related to the post-war immigration experience as well as the long-standing tradition to provide an asylum for war and political refugees. Now, the Swedish government has implemented the number of temporary legal changes aimed to reduce the migration inflow to the country and lower the attractiveness of Sweden for refugees in future. However, there is an obvious drop in the number of refugees coming to Sweden in the period of 2016-2017, there is still much to be done. The main issue is associated with the labour integration of those who have already found their way to Sweden at the peak of migration crisis in 2015. Swedish migration policy as a number of weaknesses worthy of criticism in terms of refugees coming to Sweden within the recent years: lack of housing, integration policy and educational issues.

Niniejszy artykuł bada zawiłości polityki migracyjnej Szwecji. Szczególną uwagę zwraca się na współczesną politykę migracji. Z minionych doświadczeń wynika, iż współczesna polityka migracyjna posiada tak zwaną pamięć historyczną ściśle powiązaną z doświadczeniem imigracji powojennej jak również długoletnią tradycję zapewniania schronienia dla wojennych i politycznych uchodźców. Obecnie, rząd Szwecji wprowadził wiele zmian w prawie w celu zredukowania napływu emigracyjnego do kraju i obniżenia atrakcyjności Szwecji na przyszłość. Chociaż pojawił się znaczny spadek w liczbie uchodźców przybywających do Szwecji w latach 2016 – 2017, w dalszym ciągu jest wiele do zrobienia. Główny problem ma związek z integracją na rynku pracy tych osób, które już znalazły swoje miejsce w Szwecji w okresie szczytowego kryzysu migracyjnego roku 2015. Szwedzka polityka migracyjna posiada wiele słabości podlegających krytyce w kwestii uchodźców przybywających do Szwecji w okresie ostatnich lat – są nimi: brak mieszkań, polityka integracyjna oraz kwestie szkolnictwa.
Nowadays the European Union migration policy towards is one of the most important aspects in ensuring internal security of the EU. At the end of the XXth – beginning of the XXI century, Europe faced a new phenomenon – the intensification of migration processes, namely the influx of refugees and migrants-asylum seekers from third countries. Therefore, it led to the creation and development of common migration policy of the European Union. In this regard, it was important to create legislation that could regulate such issues as border security and combating illegal migration, as well as to create a common asylum system. The need to study the legal framework on which the EU policy on migrants and refugees is based, and to study the current state and trends in the migration policy of the member-states of the EU has determined the relevance of this study. The importance of this topic is intensifi ed by the European migration crisis of 2015, which is even described as a humanitarian catastrophe caused by a massive influx of refugees from Africa and the Middle East. It showed the main problems in the sphere of migration policy and policy towards refugees: imperfection of the system of delimitation of the EU competencies; a large number of countries with confl icting interests in various spheres; fragmentation of programs in force at the national level. To address the migration crisis, the EU used a multifaceted strategy: improving and creating new migration management institutions, expanding crossregional dialogue with the countries of the Mediterranean region, Africa and the Middle East; continued to reformat the Mediterranean region (region-building). Potential approaches range from an internal search for strategies in which each member state seeks to defend its own interests (sometimes even against European integration processes) to a more farsighted approach in which member states work together to address a wide range of migration issues.
