0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

Refugees, Migration and Global Governance examines how the international community manages migration and refugee issues at the highest levels. It explores the evolution from a time when only refugees received legal protection to the 2016 United Nations New York Declaration, which forged new global compacts on refugees and migrants. This insightful book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the negotiation processes involving governments and international organisations, and discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by these frameworks. It also raises important questions about fostering safe, orderly migration to support global prosperity while addressing the complex realities of refugees and irregular migration.

Ideal for policy-makers, academics, and students interested in global migration, refugee protection, and international law, this book provides critical insights into contemporary migration governance.

Looking at the two global migration and governance compacts resulting from the 2016 UN Declaration on Refugees and Migrants, this book asks what the international community can do to affirm and strengthen safe migration for the benefit of economic growth and prosperity.

Description

As debates about migrants and refugees reverberate around the world, this book offers an important first-hand account of how migration is being approached at the highest levels of international governance.

Whereas refugees have long been protected by international law, migrants have been treated differently, with no international consensus definition and no one international migration system. This all changed in September 2016, when the 193 members of the United Nations unanimously adopted the New York Declaration on Refugees and Migrants, laying the groundwork for the creation of governance frameworks for migrants and refugees worldwide. Refugees, Migration and Global Governance provides a fly on the wall analysis of the opportunities and challenges of the two new Global Compacts on Refugees and Migration as governments, international NGOs, multilateral institutions and other actors develop and negotiate them.

Looking beyond the compacts, the book considers migration governance over time, and asks the bigger questions of what the international community can do on the one hand to affirm and strengthen safe, orderly and regular migration to help drive economic growth and prosperity, whilst on the other hand responding to the problems caused by increasing numbers of refugees and irregular migrants. This highly engaging and informative account will be of interest to policy-makers, academics and students concerned with global migration and refugee governance.
