Global migration governance

Arbeitspapier

International migration represents one of the most obvious contemporary manifestations of globalization. With growth in trans-boundary interconnections, there has been a rapid increase in human mobility across international borders. Between 1970 and 2005, the number of international migrants increased from 82 million to 200 million, comprising 3% of the world's population (GCIM 2005). In most policy fields which involve trans-boundary movements across borders, such as climate change, international trade, finance, and communicable disease, states have developed institutionalised cooperation, primarily through the United Nations (UN) system. In relation to these other trans-boundary issues, states have developed a range of international agreements, often overseen by international organizations. These have been created based on the recognition that collective action and cooperation are often more efficient in meeting states' interests than unilateralism and inter-state competition.
