Although international cooperation on migration is often promoted,
scholars have been unable to arrive at a consensus about the extent
of cooperation in the current system. Under what conditions does
international cooperation on migration arise, and what shape does
it take? These questions are important because migrants are often
vulnerable to human rights abuses during their journeys as well as
in the country of destination, and international cooperation
represents one mechanism for reducing this vulnerability. Jeannette
Money and Sarah P. Lockhart ask these questions as they examine the
patterns of migration flows during the post– World War II period,
with particular attention to crises or shocks to the international
system, as in the case of migration following the recent conflicts
in Afghanistan and Syria. Their analysis makes several important
contributions to this debate. First, they explain how the broad
pattern of migration in the contemporary era—generally from
poorer, less stable countries to wealthier, more stable
countries—fosters cooperation that is predominantly bilateral,
when cooperation does in fact occur. Second, they argue that
cooperation is unlikely under most circumstances, because countries
of destination prefer the current system, which privileges their
sovereignty over migration flows. Finally, they posit that
cooperation may arise under three conditions: when the costs of
maintaining the status quo increase, when countries of origin
locate a venue where their numbers allow them to control the
bargaining agenda, or when migrant flows tend toward reciprocity.
