Publisher's Synopsis
There is currently no formal, coherent, multilateral institutional framework governing the global flow of migrants. While most actors agree that some greater international cooperation on migration is needed, there has been no persuasive analysis of what form this would take or what greater global cooperation would aim to achieve.The purpose of this book is to fill this analytical gap by asking some fundamental questions: What are the key steps to building a better, more cooperative system of governance? What do we hope to achieve through greater international cooperation? And most fundamental, who —or what —is to be governed?
