“…87 According to some scholars, IOM member states were concerned about potential 'mandate creep', towards a more protection-oriented agenda. 88 Such concerns may explain, at least in part, why the IOM Council insisted that in any new Agreement with the UN, the independence, mandate and efficiencies of IOM must be expressly retained.…”

It is an era of expansion for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), an increasingly influential actor in the global governance of migration. Bringing together leading experts in international law and international relations, this collection examines the dynamics and implications of IOM's expansion in a new way. Analyzing IOM as an international organization (IO), the book illuminates the practices, obligations and accountability of this powerful but controversial actor, advancing understanding of IOM itself and broader struggles for IO accountability. The contributions explore key, yet often under-researched, IOM activities including its role in humanitarian emergencies, internal displacement, data collection, ethical labour recruitment, and migrant detention. Offering recommendations for reforms rooted in empirical evidence and careful normative analysis, this is a vital resource for all those interested in the obligations and accountability of international organizations, and in the field of migration. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

“…This policy has continued under successive conservative Liberal-National coalition governments since that time. Off-shore processing means that asylum seekers are forcibly transferred to Nauru or PNG and undergo a refugee status determination process in those countries (Penovic and Dastyari 2007). This policy has received considerable negative scrutiny both within Australia and internationally as breaching human rights standards and the spirit of the 1951 Refugee Convention (Archbold 2015;Henderson 2014;McAdam 2013).…”

New Vulnerabilities for Migrants and Refugees in State Responses to the Global Pandemic, COVID-19

This article examines the global pandemic, COVID-19, through the lens of responses to vulnerable migrants, asking what state responses mean for the future of human rights values and for humanitarian interventions. The responses of the Australian state are developed as a case study of actions and policies directed at refugees and temporary migrant workers through the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical framing of the article draws on racial capitalism to argue that the developments manifest during the ‘crisis times’ of COVID-19 are in large part a continuity of the exclusionary politics of bordering practices at the heart of neoliberal capitalism. The article proposes that a rethinking of foundational theoretical and methodological approaches in the social sciences are needed to reflect contemporary changes in justice claims, claims that increasingly recognize the multi-species nature of existential threats to all life.

“…As with the geophysics of environmental events, these variations tend to be more rapid, more sudden and more total in their effects in smaller islanded economies. Nauru's function as an Australian offshore detention centre (a practice that seriously tests the notion of sovereignty) is one obvious and recent example (Penovic and Dastyari, 2007). Other suitable cases come to mind: whaling and Norfolk Island (Hoare, 1999: 85–87); pearl cultivation and nuclear testing in French Polynesia (Poirine, 2010; Haoatai and Monypenny, 2011); garment manufacturing in the Northern Marianas (McPhetres, 2011); bêche‐de‐mer in the Solomon Islands (Christensen, 2011); and kava and cut flowers from Fiji (Prasad and Raj, 2006; McGregor, 2007).…”

Surfers of the ocean waves: Change management, intersectoral migration and the economic development of small island states

This paper argues that there is a need to better acknowledge and problematise the manner in which individuals, households, organisations and governments in small island jurisdictions develop mechanisms that allow them to exploit the benefits, and/or minimise the losses, of episodic economic lurches. A 'strategic flexibility' approach is proposed to explain how actors practise intersectoral migration: cleverly shifting focus, interest and scope, not just out of necessity (reactively) but in 'smelling' promising opportunities (proactively). In a scenario where change is taken as a given, managing and coping with such change become the hallmarks of economic survival: just like surfers handling the ocean swell.
