Course Description
With population movements across borders increasing, international cooperation on migration is essential. No single government, international organization, private sector organization or civil society stakeholder can expect to reap migration’s benefits or address its challenges by managing it alone. What actors are involved? What kind of partnerships are they looking for? What are the outcomes of international cooperation?
The EMM2.0 module on International Cooperation on Migration explores how States, as the primary actors in managing migration, partner with each other and other governmental and non-governmental actors to address migration challenges and to find new, creative and effective solutions to them. It discusses the roles of the various actors involved and ways for States to partner with them at the international level. The module also discusses the mechanisms and processes through which international cooperation takes place, such as inter-State consultation mechanisms. Finally, it provides an overview of major initiatives and commitments that resulted from inter-State collaborative efforts to address various aspects of migration.
