GLOBAL MIGRATION GOVERNANCE

Abstract

International migration is an important global issue that requires a more effective system of global governance. This paper focuses on movements of people across international borders and on governance at the global level. Managing movements of people across international borders cannot be achieved through unilateral state action alone; rather, the development and implementation of migration policy benefits from international cooperation in addressing the complex drivers and processes of migration. Global governance in the migration area still lags the systems in place to manage the international flow of capital and goods.
