Migration, Civil Society and Global Governance

The root causes of migration, global inequality, and options for sustainable development are perceived differently by the United Nations, international organizations, governments, corporate actors, civil society organizations, and regional and global trade unions. This comprehensive collection examines the development of an emerging global governance on migration with the focus on spaces, roles, strategies, and alliance-making of a composite transnational civil society engaged in issues of rights and the protection of migrants and their families.

The United Nations, international organizations, governments, corporate actors, and a diverse range of civil society organizations, as well as regional and global trade unions, have diverse perspectives on the root causes of migration, global inequality, and options for sustainable development. This is a crucial political question that has gained significant attention in the 21st century.

In order to address these complex issues, this comprehensive collection explores the emergence of a global governance framework on migration, with a particular focus on the roles, strategies, and alliances of a composite transnational civil society. The authors aim to shed light on the need to strengthen networking and convergence among movements that adopt different entry points to the same struggle, ranging from fighting against 'managed migration' to challenging corporate control over food and land.

The authors examine the opportunities and challenges faced by civil society in its endeavor to promote a rights-based approach within international and intergovernmental fora, such as the Global Forum for Migration and Development, and in other global policy spaces.
