“…States are the main actors in the global migration governance system, primarily because of sovereignty-related authority and control (Koser, 2010;Newland, 2005). This has caused formal international institution-building to Migration and Development 3 remain a slow process (Gamlen & Marsh, 2011) as state-based responses to migrant inflows continue to exert more influence than globally coordinated responses (Marchi, 2010).…”

This study reconceptualises migrant networks as small-scale forms of migration governance. Acting as transnational network structures, migrant networks are able to fill some of the gaps in the currently fragmented global migration governance system. This includes addressing common migration governance objectives, such as reducing issues created by criminal networks, decreasing tensions between migrants and host communities, and improving the safety and dignity of migrants. Further, this study aims to discuss relevant migrant-development nexus effects of migrant networks as migration governance structures, in terms of a migrant's individual developments as well as development in both the home and destination countries. Migrant networks have great interest in positive development for individual migrants because it would strengthen the network; the migrant would be better able to support future migrants in addition to members remaining in the home country. Migrant development may also have positive effects for the destination country, through the provision of higher-skilled work, and for the home country, through associated remittances and relevant support for network members in the home country.

“…Instead of a single global agency, in the following decades the ILO, UNHCR, IOM and other UN and non-UN organizations emerged as major players, as leading international organizations in the area of migration, refugee and mobility politics. Though they often lacked the necessary funding for certain operations, they nonetheless witnessed an immense growth in regard to their budget, staff, in their number of operations and in their portfolio of activities rendering support and safeguarding the rights and interests of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants worldwide (Düvell, 2002;Newland, 2005;Pécoud, 2013).…”

“…The coming together of: (a) increased levels of migration, refugees and mobility flows in the post-Cold War context; (b) the acknowledgement of globalization as a profound challenge to nation-states and longstanding assumptions about the power and capabilities of nation-states to "govern" effectively; (c) the realization that democratic states possess less and less legal sovereignty to limit the acquired and, by now to some extent, already "globalized" rights -or "post-national membership" (Soysal, 1994) -of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants (including even irregular migrants); (d) the growing awareness about transnationalism and the emergence of transnational social spaces (Faist, 2000;Pries, 2001;Wimmer and Glick-Schiller, 2002) together with; (e) the more general debate regarding governance (or "good" governance) as an alternative and/or additional mode to (unilateral) nation-state "government" constituted a set of processes that all fuelled the "internationalization" of migration policy -an increasing trend (and necessity) "pushing" migration and mobility politics "out" and "beyond" the naturalized national "containers" of policy-making (Betts, 2011;Grugel and Piper, 2007;Guiraudon, 2000;Koslowski, 2011;Newland, 2005). Nation-states, however, remained reluctant to follow the example of migrant transnationalism and to embark on a truly "transnational" regulation of cross-border mobility.…”

The global political economy is in flux as a series of cumulative crises impacts its organization and governance. The IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increasingly challenges the North as the centre of development, also reflected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe.An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communities as the established trans-Atlantic North declines and 'the rest', especially the BRICS, rise.

Open Borders: Absurd Chimera or Inevitable Future Policy?

In the current climate of security concerns, the movement of people across borders is becoming increasingly criminalised. Yet there is a parallel political and economic reality in which borders are opening and the movement of people is being liberalised: zones of free movement such as the European Union expand; other bilateral and multilateral agreements include provisions for more fluid cross-border movement; international trade negotiations seek to facilitate the flow of those providing goods and services; developing countries' push for greater access for their citizens to the labour markets of the industrialised world; and a new class of ''gold collar'' professionals moves with increasing ease around the globe. This paper explores the possibilities of universal open borders as a future policy option. The author accepts realpolitik and understands that the free flow of immigrants is currently impossible, but also maintains that open borders are an inevitable long-term consequence of globalisation, as well as a policy option for addressing North-South inequalities and a moral touchstone for the global extension of human rights. The paper does not advocate for more migration, but instead explores the paradox that the creation of the conditions that would allow for the opening of borders is likely to reduce the incentives for emigration. The paper explores the policy changes needed to achieve open borders.
