Yuldasheva G. Modern trends in the work of consulates in the conditions of globalization

Abstract: This article is dedicated to the modern trends of the transformation of consular functions in the conditions of globalization. Radical changes in modern global economic connections and migration processes demonstrate the importance and significance of the legal regulation of consular relations from the perspectives of both international and national laws. In this research, the consular law and consular service is being examined through the prism of new challenges associated with such phenomena as increased travel, natural disasters, civil wars, multiple citizenship, international employment, pension issues, child abductions, forced marriages, sex tourism and human trafficking, all of which significantly impact the transformation of consular functions at the present stage. These factors substantiate the growth in demand for quality and efficient consular services, which in turn affect the transformation of consular functions in the modern conditions. This research allowed the author to highlight three key vectors of the work of governments in this area: expansion of consular functions in accordance with demand; management of expectations for the purpose of affecting the growing demand; introduction of improvements into the sphere of consular services in order to meet the demands.
