Non-Western Migration Regimes in a Global Perspective

Project description

Understanding migration towards non-Western destinations

The latest World Migration Report reveals that, in 2020, 12 of the top 20 destinations for international migrants were non-Western countries. Despite this shift, mainstream literature predominantly concentrates on the experiences and policies of migrants in Western liberal democracies, leading to a noticeable gap in the representation of major non-Western migration destinations in current migration studies. To address this, the MSCA-funded MARS project aims to enhance global, regional, and national comprehension of migration governance. The project will undertake research and implement a staff exchange programme focusing on non-Western migration regimes. It aims to gather empirical data, contribute to relevant theoretical debates, develop innovative approaches, translate research findings into policy-relevant formats, and enhance migration governance practices.

Objective

According to the latest World Migration Report, 12 of the 20 top destinations for international migrants in 2020 were countries not belonging to what are considered traditional (Western) migrant-receiving countries in North America, Western Europe, and Australia. Yet, despite these ever-growing migratory processes in non-Western migration locales, the mainstream literature remains largely focused on the study of migrants’ experiences and immigration policies in the context of traditional Western liberal democracies. As a result, major non-Western migration destinations elsewhere in the world remain underrepresented by existing theories and comparative research within migration studies.

The overarching objective of the MARS is to increase our scientific understanding about global, regional and national governance of migration and mobilities and thereby to contribute to the global and national efforts to facilitate safe, regular and orderly migration. This aim will be accomplished by conducting research and a staff exchange programme on non-Western migration regimes. More specifically, MARS is constructed around three interlinked goals, which are to 1) collect original empirical data on the interplay between migration governance processes and migrants’ experiences in non-Western migration locales; 2) engage with and situate our research in relevant theoretical and comparative debates within migration studies and thereby advance scholarly discussion on contemporary migration regimes (comparative migration studies) by developing new conceptual and methodological approaches to understanding migratory processes in non-Western locales; and 3) translate research findings into policy-relevant ways, including presentations and policy papers to provide strategic intelligence and policy insights for international organisations, development agencies, decision-makers, and practitioners inside and outside the EU on possible ways to improve migration governance practices.
