Global migration governance relates to policies, standards and mechanisms developed at the international level by states and international organizations. This course unveils the dynamics and tensions underlying migration governance with a focus on the UN, its main agencies and instruments. It analyses the UN treaties governing migration, as well as the various intergovernmental processes established during the last decade and the role of the UN Global Compact for Migration. After an introduction on the general notion of global migration governance, the course will be composed of three key parts addressing respectively the normative, cooperative and institutional frameworks of global migration governance. The overall objective of this course is to grasp the complexity of global migration governance and develop a critical understanding of the key policy and legal issues at stake.
