After a long time of neglect, migration has entered the arena of
international politics with a force. The 2018 Global Compact for
safe, orderly and regular migration (GCM) is the latest and most
comprehensive framework for global migration governance. Despite
these dynamics, migration is still predominantly framed as a
state-centric policy issue that needs to be managed in a top-down
manner. This book proposes a difference approach: A truly
multi-stakeholder, multi-level and rights-based governance with
meaningful participation of migrant civil society. Drawing on 15
years of participant observation on all levels of migration
governance, the book maps out the relevant actors, "invited" and
"invented" spaces for participation as well as alternative
discourses and framing strategies by migrant civil society. It thus
provides a comprehensive and timely overview on global migration
governance from below, starting with the first UN High Level
Dialogue in 2006, evolving around the Global Forum on Migration and
Development (GFMD) and leading up to the consultations for the
International Migration Review Forum in 2022.
Der Zusammenhang von Migration und Demokratie stellt ein bislang
weitgehend vernachlassigtes Forschungsfeld dar. So hat die
Demokratisierungsliteratur Einflussen von unten und von aussen, wie
sie Migration darstellen kann, lange Zeit wenig Aufmerksamkeit
gewidmet. Und auch in der Migrationsforschung wird nur selten
explizit auf Konzepte und Strukturen der Demokratie Bezug genommen.
Der vorliegende Sammelband bietet eine erste und umfassende
Bestandsaufnahme der vielfaltigen Verbindungen von Migration und
Demokratie und gibt Anstosse fur eine weitere konzeptionelle und
empirische Erforschung des Themenfelds au
In migration research, studies on the influence of return migrants
on the societies in their home countries are still few and
predominantly concentrate on the economic dimension of migration.
The literature on democratization has likewise paid only scant
attention to the external factors that play a role in the
transition of states in the process of becoming more democratic.
Cognizant of these lacunae in research on migration and
democratization, this book sets out to argue that return migrants
can play an important role in the consolidation process of young
democracies. The goal is therefore to explore the nature of this
influence and to discuss its stabilizing as well as destabilizing
aspects with regards to democratization. As a case study this book
analyzes "labor exporter par excellence," the Philippines. Research
is based on original data: a survey in the Philippines with 2,000
respondents, 37 in-depth interviews with respondents from the
sample, and 45 expert interviews serving as background material.
The destinations covered are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Taiwan,
Japan, and Hong Kong. This book discusses whether labor migration
can affect democratization processes and what impact the political
order of the host country has on this potential effect. It attests
the potential of the migration experience to affect migrants'
attitudes towards democracy, thus playing an important role in the
support needed for democracies in the stage of consolidation. Our
findings suggest that the migration experience may not only lead to
a more critical stance towards the political system of the home
country; there are also indicators of lesser support for the
principles of democracy when compared to migrants about to leave
the country for the first time. The political system of the
destination as such seems to be a less decisive factor than the
specific freedoms and restrictions experienced by migrants and a
potential bias when selecting the destination.
