International Organisations and the Politics of Migration

International organizations, such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and various UN agencies, have become key actors in the global politics of migration. They contribute to defining the normative framework for states' immigration policy, while also providing services and support to governments. This book brings together analytical and empirical contributions that document the role of international organisations in migration politics worldwide. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
