Governance, Rights & Well-being in the Context of Voluntary & Forced Migration

This research theme explores how migration both shapes and is shaped by systems of global governance, legal frameworks and national policies. It examines the intersections of international law, state authority and global and local institutional responses to migration, with particular attention to citizenship, refugees, asylum seekers and internally forcibly displaced people. By connecting legal, political, economic and sociocultural perspectives, this theme aims to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges and possibilities for rights-based migration governance and migrant well-being.
