Expansive government interventions, growing public resistance, and the first serious efforts at global migration governance left an enduring legacy. Tracing the shift from relative North–South openness to new restrictions and from East–West closure to cautious openness, the book explores how migration governance transformed in response to economic pressures, decolonisation, and Cold War geopolitics.Covering case studies from Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and Australia, contributors analyse the emergence of migration as a political flashpoint—from legislative change and international diplomacy to grassroots activism. The book innovates by connecting diverse world regions and actors—state and non-state alike—and by reassessing the role of international organisations such as the ILO, UNHCR, and ICEM.
Essential reading for academics and general readers alike, The Global Migration Turn offers a ground-breaking interpretation of the 1970s as a turning point in global migration governance. It equips readers with critical historical insight into contemporary challenges surrounding migration and international cooperation.
