Migration
Unlike many other trans-boundary policy areas, international migration lacks coherent global governance. However, given the growing politicisation of migration and the recognition that states cannot always address migration in isolation from one another, a debate has emerged about what type of international institutions and cooperation are required to meet the challenges of international migration.
GEG’s work in this area focuses on four issues:
- Forms of regional cooperation on migration
- The ways in which different states choose to create or work through different international institutions in order to address migration
- Issue-linkage between migration and other issue-areas (development, the environment and trade) and the impact of these linkages on migration politics
- The engagement of developing countries in global migration governance
