IMI staff contribute to book on global migration governance

Global Migration Governance focuses on the international politics of migration. In the context of the growing politicization of migration, a debate has emerged within policy and academia on the need to develop global governance on migration to facilitate better inter-state cooperation.

However, this debate is taking place in the absence of a clear understanding of what global migration governance actually is and the basis on which we can make judgements about what 'better' global migration governance might look
like. In order to address this gap, the book provides an accessible introduction to the institutions, politics, and normative dimensions of different aspects of international migration.
