“…Several have been quite active in this regard, including the Santa Marta Group (SMG), an international network of Catholic Bishops spanning over 35 countries (including the UK and Ireland) established in the UK in the early 2010s. The mission of the SMG and its network reflects longstanding ideological commitments to tackling slavery as a moral injustice in whatever context and space exploitation is found and has increasingly incorporated engagements with state labour inspectorates and labour enforcement agencies (for a related case study on transnational church activist networks, see Mitchell and MacFarlane, 2019).…”

State labour inspection has been relatively underresearched in economic and labour geography, despite its prospective role in tackling worker exploitation as part of national state regulatory strategies. This paper seeks to address this gap by critically examining state labour inspection as a government function capable of upholding labour standards within and across economic space. A key contribution of the paper is to make stronger connections between workers’ spatial strategies and their ability to shape how labour inspection and standards enforcement is carried out. Focusing upon the UK and Ireland, we examine different ways in which some labour-friendly groups have sought to contest but also to support state labour inspection efforts with a view to protecting workers.

“…A lack of interest and reluctant attitude toward the efforts for greater cooperation to achieve the objectives of the Compact are still dominant among states located in the wealthiest parts of the world. The UNHCR together with the other UN agencies and stakeholders aims to find a long-lasting and effective solution to the refugee and migration-related problems of the world with an ambitious agenda built around sustainability, inclusion, and development, but states show more interest for preventive measures against migration by framing the related issues around migration security nexus (Mitchell and Jones and Fluri 2019). Therefore, after 2 years what appears is a possible pitfall in the form of yet another ineffective UN document that calls upon States to "coordinate and cooperate" rather than compelling them to shoulder their share of tangible responsibility through a framework built around state obligations and liabilities.…”

Global policy on migration can be defined as the creation of a more or less formal set of norms and rules in a framework of multi-level policymaking by public and private actors, which involves and transcends national, international, and transnational policy regimes, to regulate the movement of people across borders (Betts 2012). During the 1970s and the 1980s, the ICEM expanded beyond Europe with operations that included the resettlement of refugees from Bangladesh and Nepal to Pakistan during the 1971 Bangladesh War and Indo-Chinese resettlement in 1975. These activities were reflected in the 1980 rebranding of the ICEM as the Intergovernmental Committee for Migration and by the end of the decade, the IOM.

“…There has also been extensive scholarship, particularly in the last year, attending to migration, border control, and the role of states and non-governmental institutions in the management and control of human mobility and resettlement (Lemaire et al, 2021; Myadar and Dempsey, 2022; Savio Vammen et al, 2022; Strauss, 2022; Zardo and Wolff, 2022a). The edited handbook on Critical Geographies of Migration assembles an extensive collection migration research among geographies from various perspectives (Mitchell et al, 2019). The analyses of migration discussed in this report include different theoretical and methodological approaches and covers the divergent reasons for displacement.…”

This report provides an overview of contemporary scholarship on the geopolitics and political geographies of migration. There has also been an extensive amount of scholarship, including several special issues focused on migration, borders, and displacement from state and non-state institutional management to the everyday experiences of individual migrants. The political geographies and geopolitics of human displacement in this report are organized into the following thematic categories: state and institutional management, institutionalized suspicion of migrant populations, border management techniques and technologies, and re-centering migrant experiences.
