This comprehensive book delves into the 2018 Global Compact on Migration, examining the pressing need for and complexities surrounding the adoption of a multilateral agreement on migration. It sheds light on the challenges and limitations faced, considering the diverse needs and conditions of countries, as well as the varying interests of different groups within them. Providing a historical backdrop, the book traces previous attempts at reaching a multilateral migration agreement, dating back to 1927. It highlights the lack of a global perspective on migration and the absence of robust commitment to responsibility-sharing arrangements.

The book argues that the 2018 migration pact represents a breakthrough and a missed opportunity simultaneously. It critically assesses the limitations of the current deal, including its inadequate focus on addressing the root causes of forced and disruptive migration in origin countries. Moreover, it explores how the 2018 agreement can be built upon to establish a dynamic and harmonious global migration system.

This book is of immense relevance to researchers, policy makers, professionals, and activists engaged in migration, labor economics, and international development. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that will contribute to shaping informed discussions and policies addressing the complex dynamics of migration in our globalized world.
