Abstract: This article focuses on the first steps of an international cooperation on migrants' remittances,using the tools of the international political economy. In recent years, remittances have become one of the main sources of foreign exchange for developing countries. In addition to becoming a national issue, remittances are a growing international dimension by awakening the interest of multilateral and regional institutions. The question then is whether this cooperation, backed by the formation of an international consensus on the effectiveness of remittances, is a step towards an international regime. Determining the objectives of this cooperation, as well as associated costs, lead us to conclude that the Global Remittance Initiative is an international coordination regime (Stein, 1982). Actually, this initiative is part of a recent evolution in the international consensus on financing for development.
