In 2016, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) became part of the United Nations. With 173 member states and more than 400 field offices, the IOM-the new 'UN migration agency'-plays a key role in migration governance. The contributors in this volume provide an in-depth and comprehensive insight into the IOM, its transformation, current structure and projects, as well as its capacity, self-understanding and political agenda.

Over the last two decades, international migration has become a global issue. It is perceived as an ongoing challenge for governments, as well as an issue that is deeply related to other international challenges, such as development, climate change, security and public health. In this context, international organisations have become influential in the way in which migration is thought about and governed. They play an important role, steering states' behaviour and intervening on the ground, through the design and implementation of immigration policy. International organisations tend to promote a positive view of migration, extolling its benefits for all parties. There often exists a contrast between this positivity and the public and political scepticism regularly expressed in Western receiving countries. According to their advocates, international organizations have the potential to improve the governance of migration, by supporting cooperation between states and promoting balanced and comprehensive political strategies. However their detractors criticise them for aligning themselves with the interests of receiving states and for their political agenda. This book brings together analytical and empirical contributions that explore the role of international organisations in migration politics worldwide. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.

The globalized era is characterized by a high degree of interconnectedness across borders and continents and this includes human migration. Migration flows have led to new governance challenges and, at times, populist political backlashes. A key driver of migration is environmental conflict and this is only likely to increase with the effects of climate change. Bringing together world-leading researchers from across political science, environmental studies, economics and sociology, this urgent book uses a multifaceted theoretical and methodological approach to delve into core questions and concerns surrounding migration, climate change and conflict, providing invaluable insights into one of the most pressing global issues of our time.

Entrepreneurship Education gewinnt nach wie vor an Bedeutung innerhalb der Bildungslandschaft, allen voran an Schulen und Hochschulen. Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht ein dringender Bedarf an konzeptionellen UEberlegungen, die auf lerntheoretische und didaktische Fragestellungen zielen und sowohl die Theorie- als auch die Praxisebene von Entrepreneurship Education bereichern sollen. Die vorliegende Arbeit entwickelt unter Einbezug des Schwellenkonzeptansatzes eine neue Perspektive fur eine wirtschaftsdidaktisch gedachte Entrepreneurship Education, die disziplinare Phanomene mit der subjektiven Sichtweise Lernender zunachst auf theoretischer Ebene verbindet und anschliessend anhand von eigens entwickelten Lernstudien empirisch untersucht.
