“…As a result, the SACM has not fully coordinated migration policy. At the regional level, RCP member states together undertake the two steps of migration governance: sensemaking and migration management (Geddes et al 2019; Table 1). Then at the national level, member state decisionmakers repeat these two steps, resulting in maintaining or changing domestic policy.…”

“…Migration governance is a two-step organizational process of understanding how economic, political, social, demographic, and environmental conditions impact immigrant receiving societies, then how policymakers attempt to manage these effects (Mármora, 2010;Geddes et al, 2019). Opposed to other studies analyzing a multilevel approach to migration governance as the regional and international levels (e.g., Lavenex, 2019), we evaluate the two levels as 1) regional-level discussion and agreements among member states at the RCP and 2) national-level migration policy within individual RCP member states.…”

Regional Consultative Processes (RCPs) have become a central component of migration governance; these are the loci of interstate migration policy discussions. Currently, 15 RCPs meet worldwide in every region, except the Caribbean, to form non-binding agreements and to coordinate migration policy approaches. Building on previous reports, migration governance literature, and existent thematic analyses specific to the region, we evaluate RCPs’ multilevel migration policy coordination by comparing national laws to regional topics and accords. We compare two decades of national legislation in all 12 South American countries to regional discussion at the South American Conference on Migration (SACM) since its first annual meeting in 2000. We find synergies and discrepancies between translating regional migration governance strategies from the RCP into national-level migration management. The SACM has reinforced the member states’ focus on regional integration and provided a space for dialogue to agree on approaches and best practices. Yet, countries have not uniformly incorporated these into national legislation. Our multilevel analysis reveals the complexities that RCPs face in overcoming regional-national discrepancies in immigration policy coordination.

“…Regional regimes are processes of cooperation between geographically proximate states and a result of either formal, or more informal, structures and patterns of exchange (Geddes et al 2019, Börzel & Risse 2016. While non-state actors and networks have become increasingly involved in region-building (Geddes et al 2019), on the African continent regional organisations and other platforms are largely decoupled from civic organisation or other non-state patterns of regionalisation such as trade-related population flows (Börzel & Risse 2016: 8, Hartmann 2016).…”

Regional organisations and migration regimes are increasingly being acknowledged in global migration policies. The global compacts for migration and on refugees adopted in December 2018 recognise the migration-related expertise and important function of regional organisations in the implementation of international guidelines and policies. But the compacts' wording is vague on the division of labour between global and regional migration regimes, and important questions remain unanswered regarding the added value and ideal role of regional migration regimes in the international system. This is particularly true for regions of the global South, whose institutional arrangements, substantive focus and performance in migration-related norm setting and implementation remain understudied. The authors contribute to filling this knowledge gap by considering two migration policy processes in the context of their overall (regional) migration governance systems and regimesthe ECOWAS Protocol for the Free Movement of Persons and the IGAD Regional Framework for Durable Solutions for Somali Refugees. Based on a qualitative research design, they find that regional migration regimes possess some comparative advantages compared with global ones, which enhance their agency. However, depending on institutional path dependencies, the degree of legalisation and the interests of powerful internal and external actors, levels of agency with regards to different migration types might show significant variation.

El objetivo de este estudio es investigar la protección penal brasileña de la mano de obra inmigrante en casas de apuestas clandestinas, considerando los flujos migratorios latinoamericanos. Con este fin, primeramente se analiza el tema de la inmigración internacional en el contexto de Latinoamérica, con Brasil como uno de los principales destinos, destacando su principal motivación en términos socioeconómicos y su propósito correlacionado. A continuación, se cudia de la criminalización de las casas de juegos en Brasil, en términos dogmáticos. Por fin, se cuestiona cómo se trata al inmigrante como una fuerza laboral en el escenario de la exploración de la actividad económica del juego como un mercado ilícito , así como la tutela penal que le ofrece el país.

Abstract: International migration is defined as a social and political process by the presence of states and their borders. Without state borders, there would be no such thing as international migration (Zolberg 1989
