Abstract

International migration research has been filtered through multiple disciplinary lens as migration pattern have varied. Conventional economists posited mobility in terms of individuals calculating the material advantage from migrating. A successor sociological framing turned on the importance of social networks making migration a less-confronting move. A more instrumentalist approach that identifies state prioritising labour migration is argued to reflect the hegemonic force of neoliberal-informed policy design in both advanced industrial economies and developing economies adopting. Evident in state programs that endorse migration to advanced industrial economies to ease labour shortages and developing economy states promoting labour migration to generate export earnings, for-profit labour market intermediaries have been supplanting states in migration governance. This has impelled research interest in the multiple institutional forms shaping migration governance. This focus tends to downplay the power asymmetries in global labour markets and has generated renewed interest in how labour market institutions articulate with other forces in the local and global political economy.
