“…This analytical framework was used in the aftermath of the 2014 European refugee crisis. Responses at the supranational EU level and the member-state level proved incomplete to understand the nature of policy response within the EU, where provincial and local governments often hold autonomous positions, considering their own fiscal, political and economic conditions (Caponia & Jones-Correa, 2018; Scholten & Penninx, 2016). In India, to improve the integration of interstate migrants, some provisions exist at the union government level.…”

“…This cuts across traditional policy sectors and engages networks of policy actors at various levels of government, with a view to addressing diverse populations (Scholten, 2019). Unlike integration, the idea here is not merely to focus on migrant populations as a target group, but to see migrants as part of a diverse society, where policy problems are addressed through holistic, collaborative and networked approaches (Scholten & Penninx, 2016). Such a ‘whole society’ approach neither seeks to assimilate migrants nor does it advocate for multiculturalism; rather it reflects an ‘intercultural’ approach that focuses on equal opportunities, inter-ethnic contact and a shared sense of belonging.…”

While the governance of global migration is a growing conversation in policy and academia, internal migration has remained under-researched and under-represented as an area of focus. The increased policy attention on internal migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity for examining the governance of internal migration. Drawing on a review of literature and two consequent rounds of an ex ante policy indexing tool—the Interstate Migrant Policy Index (IMPEX) 2019 and IMPEX 2021—this article focuses on policies formulated by Indian state governments that are prominent recipients of internal migrants in the pre- and post-pandemic period. We find that while the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the vulnerability of low-income internal migrants in India, it only partially translated into long-term policy measures. This article demonstrates that the complexity of migration policymaking governance in federal democracies like India is an important aspect of global migration governance. It argues that such a focus will enable a number of developing economies to refine labour and social protection policies toward sustainable economics and human development. The article motivates a research and policy agenda that can especially help developing countries improve labour mobility patterns for economic development as well as ensure fuller coverage of social welfare measures in response to climate migration.

“…What can migration studies bring to the table for building an analysis of cities as actors in global migration governance? Inspired by increasing municipal and civil society commitment to the integration of migrants and refugees, a “local turn” emerged in migration studies in the late 2000s, exploring the role of local authorities on the ground, as well as in national, federal, and EU multi-level systems (e.g., Caponio and Borkert 2010; Scholten and Penninx 2016; Zapata-Barrero, Caponio and Scholten 2017; Campomori and Caponio 2017; Filomeno 2017). Moreover, academic attention to municipal engagement in migrant and refugee integration has led to a growing number of studies on municipal exchange and city networks (e.g., Oomen 2020; Caponio 2019; Heimann et al 2019; Lacroix 2021).…”

“…Given that city networks are critical actors in city diplomacy (Acuto, Morissette and Tsouros 2017, 16), scholars should pay special attention to the bottom-up agency of these “organizations that gather together, on a voluntary basis, local authorities in order to pursue some kind of perceived collective interest or purpose” (Caponio 2019, 2). So far, research has explored national and transnational city networks focusing, inter alia, on integration, intercultural dialogue, and diversity, with studies addressing city network inception, interaction within networks, cities’ (dis)engagement, and network strategies to advocate and lobby for integration (funding) at national and supranational levels (e.g., Penninx 2013; Scholten and Penninx 2016; Oomen, Baumgärtel and Durmus 2018; Caponio 2019; Heimann et al 2019; Oomen 2020; Fourot, Healy and Flamant 2021; Lacroix 2021).…”

“All the World's a Stage?” A Role Theory Analysis of City Diplomacy in Global Migration Governance

In 2018, cities from Africa, Europe, North, and South America officially submitted input to the state-led negotiations of the Global Compact for Migration. In the same year, the Mayors Mechanism was established within the Global Forum on Migration and Development, and in 2019, cities made pledges to localize the Global Compact on Refugees. At first sight, this engagement seems surprising, given that migration and displacement are mostly areas of national decision making. How, then, did it become possible for cities to claim a role in global migration governance? And how do cities attempt to play this role? While cities as integration actors have received growing academic attention, it is time to focus on city agency in global migration governance. To explore this phenomenon, this article introduces role theory to research on city diplomacy in migration studies. The analysis shows that the combination of the glocalized representation of migration challenges (linking the local and global levels), the glocal role claimed by cities, and the passive role attributed to nation-states can empower cities to demand an active role in global migration governance. Cities draw on this role to promote three forms of city diplomacy as adequate and feasible actions on the global stage: advocating for rights-based migration policies; striving to gain access to international funding and cooperation partners; and demanding a seat at intergovernmental negotiation tables. In closing, the article reflects on the risks and constraints of city diplomacy in global migration governance and shows directions for future research.
