'International migration management' is a new concept for understanding and rethinking migration flows.Throughout the world, governments and intergovernmental organizations, such as the International Organization for Migration, aredeveloping new approaches aimed at renewing migration policy-making. This includes calls for cooperation between governments to govern migration flows; an understanding that migration is a normal process in a globalizing world rather than a problem; a 'post-control' spirit thatgoes beyond the restrictions on peoples' mobility to draft proactive policies; and a promotion of holistic approaches to migration, not only centred on security or labour, but also on developmentand human rights. This book critically analyses the actors, discourses and practices of migration management,including both empirical investigations of new forms of migration policy and analytical explorations of their political and ideological foundations.
