Series: International Political Economy Series

In 2016, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) became part of the United Nations. With 173 member states and more than 400 field offices, the IOM—the new ‘UN migration agency’—plays a key role in migration governance. The contributors in this volume provide an in-depth and comprehensive insight into the IOM, its transformation, current structure and projects, as well as its capacity, self-understanding and political agenda.

Reviews for The International Organization for Migration: The New ‘UN Migration Agency’ in Critical Perspective

“Understanding the present and future of global migration governance requires a thorough engagement with the IOM. … Geiger and Pécoud’s volume is an important contribution towards redressing that gap. It offers readers a critical and thought-provoking analysis of the neo-liberal, technocratic and depoliticizing logics that underlie the IOM’s discourse and practice. … this volume is an important resource for scholars interested in the current transformations of migration management and their potential implications at global, regional and local levels.” (João Terrenas, International Affairs, Vol. 97 (3), 2021)
