States have long been wary of putting international migration on
the global agenda. As an issue that defines sovereignty - that is,
who enters and remains on a state's territory - international
migration has called for protection of national prerogatives and
unilateral actions. However, since the end of World War I,
governments have sought ways to address various aspects of
international migration in a collaborative manner. This book
examines how these efforts to increase international cooperation
have evolved from the early twentieth century to the present. The
scope encompasses all of the components of international migration:
labor migration, family reunification, refugees, human trafficking
and smuggling, and newly emerging forms of displacement (including
movements likely to result from global climate change). The final
chapter assesses the progress (and lack thereof) in developing an
international migration regime and makes recommendations towards
strengthening international cooperation in this area.
