LIST OF PANELS

Global migration governance is a normative and sociopolitical challenge which materialises in transnational policymaking processes. By transnational policymaking, we mean policymaking process that emerges from transnational mobilisation of various states and non states agents around common concerns such as immigration, health, poverty, environment, among others or the resolution of common problems which do not respect  national jurisdictions and need to involve more than one nation or domestic actors (De Oliveira, 2022). In this panel, we invite proposals that bring into the discussion the transnational migration policy settings and their instruments brought up by different historical contexts of the collective management of human migrations. These instruments may include, but are not limited to the uses of conventional and non-conventional policies and strategic arrangements put in place by states or governments to address the international movements of populations and their human rights, all categories and varieties considered.

Most specifically, panel would like to invite papers that focus on, but are not limited to the following questions:

- What kind of transnational arrangements characterise the global governance of migration across regions and over time?

- Which migrants' rights are promoted and secured across States' borders and transnational juridictions, regional and national legislations?

 - Does economic sovereignty influence the structuration of the global governance of international migration?

- What methods and policy research approaches can be used to study and interpret the emerging types of policy arrangements? 

- Who frames policies and who fails to comply? 

 - Do controversies emerge from the global governance of international migrations ? 

- Do migration global policy instruments vary across regions? and how?

This panel is an opportunity to question the relevance of traditional and emerging theories and methodologies of the policymaking process research and their capacity to advance intersdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches.

This panel will expect papers using an exploration of mixed research methods, quantitative and qualitative research that focus on discussions and research on the many conversations around migrants protection and their legal rights along with how these arguments and conversations lead to policy instruments which are innovatively used for the protection of migrants legal rights by citizen groups, migrant groups, CSOs and the state agencies. Across various perspectives and contexts, authors may examine different stages of public policy in migration governance and migrants legal rights, including agenda-setting, policy formulation, analysis, decision, implementation, evaluation and post-implementation
