Governing Migration Beyond the State : Europe, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia in a Global Context

Présentation sur le site de l'éditeur : "International migration has become a salient concern in global politics but there is also significant variation in governance responses. By focusing on four key world regions -- Europe, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia -- this book explores the underlying factors that shape governance responses. Rather than focusing on the more visible outputs or outcomes of governance processes such as laws and policies, this book opens the 'black box' of migration governance to reveal how understandings and representations of the causes and effects of migration held by key governance actors in these four regions have powerful effects, not only on governance outcomes, but more broadly on the prospects for global migration governance. By doing so, the book shows how migration governance systems through their operation and effects can shape migration -- in its various forms -- and the lived experiences of migrants" Cover Governing Migration beyond the State: Europe, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia in a Global Context Copyright Acknowledgements Contents List of Figures List of Abbreviations 1: Governing Migration beyond the State Introduction The organization of migration governance Studying migration governance Beyond the state The regional level Actors in migration governance How the research was done Organization of the book 2: Repertoires of Migration Governance Introduction Migration governance repertoires The meaning of migration governance How can we figure out what’s going on out there?
