Overview

Drawing together the work of leading researchers from various disciplines and backgrounds, this illuminating Research Handbook contributes to a revitalised understanding of migration governance. It introduces novel debates regarding how actors and institutions shape significant migration dynamics. This erudite Research Handbook features a systematic review of the analytical framework of global migration governance. Chapters identify and explain key institutions involved in global migration, focusing on changes in patterns and actor behaviours. Key actors explored in the Research Handbook include international organisations, migrant networks, civil society groups, smuggling cartels, religious transnational organisations, security firms and trade unions. Ultimately, it aims to contribute to a renewed understanding of migration drivers and proceedings. Students and advanced scholars of international relations and politics studying topics such as migration policy will find this thorough Research Handbook to be incredibly valuable. Experts and agents of international and non-government organisations will additionally find it to be beneficial.

Reviews

'This anthology on the institutions of global migration governance is unprecedented in its scope. The editors have created a one-stop resource for scholars, students, and practitioners.' -- David Scott FitzGerald, University of California San Diego, US 'The editors of this volume have brought together a formidable set of writers in this field for a collective, comprehensive and critical look at how migration governance plays out on the world stage.' -- Nicholas Van Hear, University of Oxford, UK 'From interpersonal networks to global compacts, Pecoud and Thiollet's Research Handbook on the Institutions of Global Migration Governance offers the first authoritative, comprehensive, multi-level assessment of the institutional field within which the 21st century's international migrants move, expertly filling a longstanding yet critical gap in the migration literature.' -- Douglas S. Massey, Princeton University, US 'This book is an invaluable resource for scholars working on migration. By bringing together state-of-the-art research by eminent international scholars, by looking at a range of different types of movements, and by including sub-national and supra-national institutions, as well as national ones, Pecoud and Thiollet have produced a must-go-to guide to the intricacies and challenges of migration governance.' -- Peggy Levitt, Wellesley College, US 'This book moves away from seeing the state as all-powerful or all-encumbered in the fraught matter of global migration governance. By focusing on the kaleidoscopic assemblage of institutions operating in different interlocking spheres from the local to the transnational, the market and civil society, and the formal and informal, the book's sophisticated analyses of migration-related institutions show us how and why migration is central to reshaping social orders of the 21st century.' -- Brenda Yeoh, National University of Singapore 'This book is an invaluable resource for scholars working on migration. By bringing together state-of-the-art research by eminent international scholars, by looking at a range of different types of movements, and by including sub-national and supra-national institutions, as well as national ones, Pecoud and Thiollet have produced a must-go-to guide to the intricacies and challenges of migration governance.' -- Peggy Levitt, Wellesley College, US
