Abstract
This chapter focuses on the governance of migration management as a process of negotiating power and responsibilities between various actors, and as the production of a normative framework, around which various objectives and interests on immigration regulations and agency participation are organized, negotiated and re-defined. The analysis of the last two decades of multilateral migration management initiatives points two waves of efforts distinct in terms of goals and institutional settings. Despite these differences, the analysis reveals some consensus around the normalization of orderly migration flows and policies. Moreover, the analysis of the global governance of migration management also unveils the political process that is involved, whereby major stakeholders and principal orientations are promoted and others marginalized.
