Abstract
This chapter provides the analytical framework on which the subsequent chapters are based. It makes the case for a governance perspective on migration and diversity in order to make sense of the challenges that actors working on migration and diversity are facing. These challenges stem from what I have described as the ‘complexification’ of migration and diversity. A multidimensional governance perspective can help us to understand how actors cope with this complexity, and how multiple factors, including knowledge, institutions, discourses and power shape their responses.
