Beskrivning

It is an era of expansion for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), an increasingly influential actor in the global governance of migration. Bringing together leading experts in international law and international relations, this collection examines the dynamics and implications of IOM's expansion in a new way. Analyzing IOM as an international organization (IO), the book illuminates the practices, obligations and accountability of this powerful but controversial actor, advancing understanding of IOM itself and broader struggles for IO accountability. The contributions explore key, yet often under-researched, IOM activities including its role in humanitarian emergencies, internal displacement, data collection, ethical labour recruitment, and migrant detention. Offering recommendations for reforms rooted in empirical evidence and careful normative analysis, this is a vital resource for all those interested in the obligations and accountability of international organizations, and in the field of migration. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Recensioner i media

'For me, the IOM was always an international organization lurking in the background, always part of the crowd but never really big or interesting enough to warrant too much attention. Over the last decade it has accumulated greater status - alongside considerable mystery regarding its history, accomplishments, ambitions, legal obligations, and moral compass. Will it become another international organization prepared to do the bidding of the major powers and try and contain migration? Or will it become a needed voice in the fight for the rights and protection of the growing number of global migrants? This necessary volume puts into tension the practice and ethics, the retrospective and prospective, in fascinating ways.' Michael Barnett, University Professor of International Affairs and Political Science, George Washington University
