“…As a result, many migrants and refugees from the Global South choose the path of undocumented migration, which often means taking perilous routes (Czaika and Hobolth 2016), such as reaching Europe via the Mediterranean Sea or traveling across the Americas to enter the United States and Canada. To avoid such long and dangerous journeys, others seek alternative destinations in the Global South (Bertoli and Fernández-Huertas 2013a; Hujo and Piper 2010; Czaika and Neumayer 2017). The diversion of south-north to south-south flows needs to be taken into consideration to better understand the interconnectivity of international migration patterns and to remove the bias from existing theory.…”

“…More recently, the study of south-south migration and related trends in migration laws and policy in the Global South has picked up momentum (De Lombaerde, Guo, and Neto 2014), covering a range of topics from migration and development (Hujo and Piper 2010; IOM 2013) to public opinion on immigration and xenophobic violence (Facchini, Mayda, and Mendola 2013; Fouratt 2014; Gordon and Maharaj 2015; Meseguer and Kemmerling 2016; Ruedin 2018). Given the growing fecundity of this emerging field, it is beyond the scope of this article to provide a comprehensive review of this literature.…”

Through the implementation of universal visa freedom from 2008 to 2010, Ecuador became one of the most accessible countries in the world. This article employs mixed methods to study the impact of the de facto opening of Ecuador’s borders on intercontinental south-south migration. First, we use a difference-in-difference design to show that Ecuador’s policy of universal visa freedom led to a significant increase of immigration from previously restricted nationalities in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Complementary descriptive statistics and qualitative findings confirm the decisive impact visa freedom had on intercontinental south-south migration and suggest three main motives: taking advantage of Ecuador’s open doors as an exit option from origin countries, settlement in Ecuador based on relatively improved opportunities, and transmigration to third countries. Our findings imply that travel visa policies of southern countries significantly impact which new south-south flows emerge.

“…In particular, our book sits alongside new thinking on global migration, and on international political economy of the Gulf and South Asia as part of an Indian Ocean regional system. 5 We build on important insights from Hugo and Piper (2010) that show important social policy and development implications of South-South migration, and on insights from recent works like LeBaron and and , which made critical contributions to understanding unfree labour within existing global governance frameworks of labour migration; Ennis and Walton-Roberts on the labour market governance as global social policy (2018); and , which show the importance of a transnational civil society network within this space.…”

is the research lead at the Centre for Indian Migrant Studies (CIMS), an organization that, for the past 20 years, has stood for protecting migrant rights. He has written about and researched international labour migration, migration governance, decentralization, political economy of migration, and rights of migrant workers since 2012. He is also pursuing a PhD at the Centre for Development Studies, Kerala, India. He associates with various organizations such as the Internatioanl Labour Organization, International Organization for Migration, and the Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) as a research consultant. By accepting one of the policy suggestions from one of his research papers, the Kerala Government, a subnational government in India, has created an assembly for the inclusive participation of migrants in policy making.

“…These recognitions do not dismiss the importance of precarity as a concept, but rather point to the necessity of broadening its theoretical purview to better account for the majority of global movements of labour that take place within and between countries of the global South (Breman, ; Hujo and Piper, ) and particularly throughout Asia. In this regard, migration cannot be seen as a linear pathway into precarity or a process by which migrants become precarious.…”

This article uses migrant precarity as a lens through which to analyse the issue of mobilization for migrants' rights by civil society. Such mobilization efforts are vital in light of the emergence of global migration governance, which tends to actively constrain considerations for migrants' human and labour rights. Asia's temporary migrants have been identified as a particularly precarious group of workers due to their specific position within the international division of labour, one that is defined by poorly-or unregulated work with insecure legal and residential status. Moreover, with local employment in countries of origin often characterized by informal employment, poor working conditions and unsustainable livelihoods, migrant workers are caught within a protracted precarity that spans life at home and abroad. Stronger normative and organizational links between global migration governance and migrant rights movements are needed to advance decent work agendas within countries of destination, as well as in countries of origin.
