What is governing migration?Show answer
Migration governance is multi-scalar. Nation states set immigration policy, visas and border controls; regional blocs such as the EU historically enabled free movement, a major driver of EU migration to the UK before Brexit; and international frameworks (the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, the UNHCR, global compacts) address refugees and asylum. Governance is contested because states balance economic needs, security, humanitarian duty and public opinion, and cooperation is uneven, as the 2015 European migrant and refugee crisis showed when EU states disagreed over sharing responsibility for arrivals.
