Exploring the role and relevance of multilateral institutions in relation to international migration.
The Global Migration Governance project was established in 2008 in order to foster scholarship and debate on the international politics and global governance of migration.
The project has three core objectives:
- to address the gap in International Relations scholarship on international migration by examining the international politics and governance of migration.
- to explain the incoherent and fragmented nature of global migration governance in comparison to other trans-boundary issues such as trade and the environment.
- to assess the prospects for developing a coherent multilateral architecture regulating states’ responses to international migration, and develop a vision for a politically-feasible and human rights-based global migration governance.
The project is based with the Department of Politics and International Relations and the Global Economic Governance Programme. It also has collaborative links to the Centre for International Studies (CIS) and the Centre on Migration, Politics and Society (COMPAS) at the University of Oxford. It serves to act as a central focus for wider work within Oxford’s various migration research centres for work on the international politics of migration. The project is generously funded by the MacArthur Foundation.
