Lecture: Regional Governance for Migration, Development and Human Rights: ASEAN (original) (raw)

Abstract

This theme examines regional migration governance in a non-European context. Southeast Asia is one of the major sending regions of labour migrants – the Philippines alone “deploy” more than one million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWS) annually. Migration stock data reveal that the ASEAN region contributes 12.8 million or 6 per cent of the total 216 million migrants of the world; 3.9 million or 30 per cent of which are migrants within ASEAN. The theme discusses the challenges of a regional organization that is often compared with but far less institutionalized than the European Union to address migration governance. A major focus will look into strategies for “alternative regionalism from below”, i.e. the role of migrant civil society in regional migration governance.
