Governing Migration for Development from the Global Souths edited by Dêlidji Eric Degila and Valeria Marina Valle

This thematic volume analyses the nexus between migration and sustainable development and how it is a key avenue of global governance. It presents a number of research projects and case studies from the global South that illustrate how different public policies and legal frameworks on all levels, from the subnational to the international, affect migration positively and negatively. It also addresses the links between sustainable development and migration by assessing migration policies using the ‘5 Ps’ approach: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnerships. Besides, the current context of migration presents its own challenges as we see a return to a new Westphalian system of sovereignty, as countries see a surge in nationalism and a rise in xenophobia, and as we struggle through the worst global health pandemic the world has seen in a century.
