Description
Summary:"Migration has become, since the 1990s, the subject of growing international discussion and cooperation. International organisations and the international community have taken a number of initiatives to better 'manage' migration and make it the object of 'global governance' mechanisms. This implies a specific intellectual and political construction of migration as a global issue that deserves global attention. By critically analysing the reports produced by international organisations on migration, this book sheds light on the way these actors frame migration and develop their recommendations on how it shoulg be governed."
