This edited volume will take an expansive view of the publicness of both the policies and the effects related to migration, immigration, and refugees. It will include examinations of international systemic factors and local economic factors. Because migration governance varies geographically, the book will be organized by region. It will include chapters on Africa; Australia; New Zealand and the Pacific Islands; Europe; North America; and SouthAmerica. The book will be focused on how public goods theory provides deep understanding of the factors that affect migration governance and on how understanding the public goods nature of migration governance can help develop effective policies for addressing these problems.

Explores recent developments in international migration governance Shows how public goods theory provides a deeper understanding of different international migration factors Argues that an understanding of the public goods nature of migration governance can help develop effective policies
