Global Governance on the Ground: Organizing International Migration and Asylum at the Border
International Organisations Are People, Too: IOM's Role as Coordinator of the UN Migration Network and the Socialisation of International Organisations
In International Relations (IR) research on socialisation, International Organisations (IOs) have so far primarily been conceptualised as fora in which member states might be socialised. This paper argues that the process of socialisation can also take place at the systemic level of global migration and refugee governance. It takes as its case study the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), which for a long time has operated outside the…
Global Migration Governance from Below: Actors, Spaces, Discourses
Global migration governance from below in times of Covid-19 and “Zoomification”: Civil society in „invited “ and „invented “ spaces
The global pandemic has resulted in ad hoc unilateral policies on migration, mobility and border management while at the same time emphasizing the need for global cooperation. For global governance in this field to be effective, it needs to include stakeholders beyond states and international institutions. The Global Compact for safe, orderly and regular Migration (GCM) highlights the role of those groups directly affected by global policies, i.e…
The ‘gold standard’ for labour export? The role of civil society in shaping multi-level Philippine migration policies
The Philippines has received continuous praise for its ‘highly developed’ migration policies and promotes those as the ‘gold standard’ for the deployment and protection of labour migrants. These policies are obviously not negotiated exclusively within the container of the nation state. In this article, I will therefore employ an analytical framework for the politics of migration policies that is multi-stakeholder and multi-level. The multiple lev…
Global Migration Governance from Below: Actors, Spaces, Strategies
Governing regional migration from the 'bottom-up: A nodal approach to the role of transnational activist networks in Asia
This paper investigates the emerging regional governance of migration from the perspective of migrant rights activists and their strategies in advancing a rights-based framework in contrast to the ‘management’ (i.e. control-centred) approach typically championed by states. The key objective is to use the study of civil society activism, through its nodes and networks, to develop a ‘bottom-up’ approach as an alternative to the dominant perspective…

«The» or «A» leading organization in migration? IOM as an actor in global migration governance
The emerging global governance of migration is characterized by its fragmentation in terms of institutions, underlying norms and conventions. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) holds a peculiar place within this framework: On the one side, it has been situated outside the United Nations System until very recently, considers itself a «non-normative» agency, and has mostly acted as a profit-based service provider for nation-states. …
Political remittances and the diffusion of a rights-based approach to migration governance: The case of the Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA)
This paper aims to address a rarely researched dimension of political remittances by moving from the (trans)national to the regional level, and from the individual to the institutional level of collective action. We base our analyses of the regional and institutional aspects on the case of the Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA), a regional network comprising migrants’ rights organisations that span across Asia (from West to East). Over the past two deca…
Tokens or Stakeholders in Global Migration Governance? The Role of Affected Communities and Civil Society in the Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees
Focussing on the inclusion of those primarily affected as stakeholders (refugees and other migrants), this article addresses a key ambition of the compacts themselves. We employ an ‘inside‐outside’ perspective and firstly ask: which groups participated in the consultative processes, what agenda did they set ‘inside’ the meetings, what alliances did they establish and how did they influence the outcomes? Secondly, we investigate what kind of advoc…
The Global Forum on Migration and Development as a venue of state socialisation: A Stepping Stone for Multi-Level Migration Governance
This article focuses on the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) which has become one of the major global spaces for deliberations on migration but remains informal and non-binding. Drawing from literature on norm diffusion and state socialisation, it debates the role of the GFMD as a stepping stone for a more robust, multi-level and networked global migration governance by bringing together governments, global institutions, civil soc…
Challenging State Sovereignty in the Age of Migration: Concluding Remarks
This two-part Special Issue has examined the migration–sovereignty nexus in the context of intra-regional migration in Asia, with specific focus on Southeast Asia (‘Special Issue’). The sub-region represents the perfect laboratory for teasing out the complexities involved in (actual and rhetorical) attempts made by states to control and regulate migration in what has become a space characterised by increasing diversity of (collective and individu…
Angry birds of passage – migrant rights networks and counter-hegemonic resistance to global migration discourses
The past decade has seen the emergence of a global migration governance architecture. But while – unlike other ‘objects’ of global governance – migrants are able to speak for themselves, only limited participatory space has been reserved for them in global processes. In reaction to this glaring democratic deficit, migrant organizations try to challenge and bring about change in the nascent global migration regime. Drawing from neo-Gramscian appro…
Asean Forum on Migrant Labour: A space for civil society in migration governance at the regional level
The aim of this article is to discuss and substantiate new spaces for the political participation of migrant civil society at the regional level in Southeast Asia through the lens of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Forum on Migrant Labour (AFML). The AFML process is shaped by the International Labour Organisation and mirrors its tripartite format, essentially bringing together governments, employers’ and workers’ organisations.…

Indonesian migrant domestic workers in transnational political spaces: Agency, Gender Roles and Social Class Formation
The focus of this article is a cluster of grassroots movements and networks of networks: the Association of Indonesian Migrant Workers (ATKI) based in Hong Kong. By using Kelly's [2007. Filipino Migration, Transnationalism and Class Identity (ARI Working Papers Series, 90). Singapore: Asia Research Institute.] typology of four dimensions of class (i.e. position, process, performance and politics) as a framework of analysis, the article shows that…

Democratization through Migration? Political Remittances and Participation of Philippine Return Migrants
Democratization through Migration? Political Remittances and Participation of Philippine Return Migrants. By Christl Kessler and Stefan Rother. Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books, 2016. Hardcover: 181pp. This book presents a convincing narrative on political socialization of Filipino migrant workers in both democratic and authoritarian host countries, and extent and ways by which such socialization affects workers' attitudes towards politics in th…
Migration and Democracy: Citizenship and Human Rights from a Multi‐level Perspective
Alternative Regionalism from Below: Democratizing Asean 's Migration Governance
Most literature on migration governance has addressed the global level, and it has done so primarily from a state‐centric and top‐down perspective, with little regard to the role of civil society organizations in shaping its direction. Moreover, in an institutional sense, except for the EU , the regional level has only received scant attention, which is surprising given the significance of intra‐regional migration flows elsewhere. The Association…
Global migration governance without migrants? The nation-state bias in the emerging policies and literature on global migration governance
In one of the first publications ever to address the topic of ‘global migration governance’—a paper prepared for the Global Commission on International Migration (GCIM)—Kathleen Newland (2005) wrote: ‘Suddenly, migration was everywhere one looked in the UN system and beyond.’ Indeed, when one looks back on the degree of attention migration has gathered on the global level in the past 10–15 years, the result is quite impressive: migration has beco…
Let's Argue about Migration: Advancing a right(s) discourse via communicative opportunities
The emerging global governance of migration is dominated by two discourses which shape policy approaches: 1) migration management and 2) the migration–development nexus. With large numbers of labour migrants being marginalised, migrant rights organisations have formed global alliances to argue for the centrality of a third discourse, the rights-based approach to migration. The question is how to inject this into the global debate which has sideli…
Wendt meets East: Asean cultures of conflict and cooperation
The major theories of International Relations (IRT) differ significantly as far as their concepts of conflict and cooperation are concerned. However, they share one common denominator: They are deeply rooted in Western experiences and intellectual history. Recently, a growing literature on the possibilities and benefits of a non-Western IRT has emerged. This article proposes a ‘via media’: a theoretical approach that can be applied to Western and…
Changed in Migration? Philippine Return Migrants and (Un)Democratic Remittances
The link between development and migration has been termed the 'new development mantra'. Studies on the subject have so far mostly focused on economic remittances, and the potential consequences of return migration on democratisation have been rarely touched upon. This article attests the potential of the migration experience to affect migrants' attitudes towards democracy, thus playing an important role in the diffuse support needed for democrac…

Democratisation Through International Migration? Explorative Thoughts on a Novel Research Agenda
The article provides an introduction into this EJEAS issue on democratisation and international migration. Third Wave democratisation and the recent unprecedented increase in international labour migration may have the same structural origins, but so far few attempts have been made to link the two research agendas. One explanation might be that existing research on democratisation has neglected the exogenous dimension, and that migration research…

The GFMD from Manila to Athens: One Step Forward, One Step Back
In the foreseeable future, it seems, the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) is here to stay. The third meeting of the Forum in Athens in November 2009 marked the end of the first half of a journey leading up to the proposed next UN High Level Dialogue on Migration in 2013. The host countries of the next three GFMD meetings have already been agreed upon, and there certainly has been development and improvement of the forum structure …
