The master's thesis examines the impact of globalization on contemporary migration and integration processes, as well as the role of nation-states in shaping these policies. In the context of globalization, which promotes greater mobility of people, capital, and ideas, nation-states face new challenges in the areas of migration and immigrant integration. The first part of the thesis addresses the theorization of the concept of globalization, comparing modernist and traditional approaches to globalization and focusing on transnationalism and global processes that influence the transformation of nation-states. Furthermore, it analyzes the concept of migration and the European Union's migration policy, examining key documents such as the Schengen Agreement, the Maastricht and Amsterdam Treaties, and the European Agenda on Migration, which have significantly contributed to shaping EU migration policy. The thesis then examines the migration policies of Slovenia and France, analyzing how these two countries have developed their approaches to managing migration flows and integrating immigrants in the context of European documents. Particular attention is also given to the concept of integration, with an analysis of the integration policies of both countries. The final part of the thesis focuses on a comparative analysis of integration policies in France and Slovenia, with a central emphasis on the role of educational institutions in the integration of immigrants. The aim of the thesis is to highlight the similarities and differences in the approaches of both countries and to shed light on the challenges and opportunities for improving immigrant integration through educational policies.
