Regional migration governance

Ine Lietaert and Antoine Pécoud

Chapter 1 in Handbook of Regional Cooperation and Integration, 2024, pp 22-37 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores recent developments in regional cooperation and integration over migration governance. It provides an overview of how, and why, regional migration governance has become involved in the governance of human mobility, and of the relationship between regional and national/global migration governance respectively. It documents the diversity of experiences across the planet in terms of objectives and practices of regional migration governance, as well as the complexity of interregional dynamics, in a context in which the most pressing issues in terms of migration governance concern people who move from one region to another. Overall, while regions may embody an alternative level at which people’s mobility can be governed, they also reproduce some of the characteristics – and sometimes the shortcomings – of both national and global migration policy.
