“…One strand focuses on the governance of family migration across Europe. (See for example : Newland, 2010;Hatton, 2007;and Geiger 2013) Another strand examines the integration of migration workers and their families. (See for example : Joppke, 2007;Penninx, Spencer, & Van Hear, 2008;and Carrera, 2009 While academics are pushing the boundaries within the field of migration studies, UK public attitudes towards family migration are increasingly sceptical.…”

“…An evolving literature takes a historical perspective on immigration restrictions and considers the impact of globalization (Goldin 1993, Hatton & Williamson 2008, Timmer & Williamson 1998. There is also some literature analysing differences in trade and immigration (Hatton 2007, Hatton & Williamson 2005, Mayda & Rodrik 2001. A number of these authors focus on global governance (Ghosh 2000, Hollifield 2008, Koslowski 2004, Straubhaar 2000.…”

Globalization Backlash? The Influence of Global Governance in Trade and Immigration

Abstract:The recent economic crisis accentuated a globalization backlash bringing anti-globalization sentiments to the surface. The spectre of the crisis lingers on with low growth and high unemployment across the OECD countries. Tensions there have been building for years, partly due to the distributional consequences of globalization and the ways these are perceived. However, global governance architecture of trade resisted these impulses whereas policies where the primacy of national institutions prevails such as migration policy were affected. In migration, international coordination is absent and this partly explains the differing responses to trade and migration. In some circumstances, policy-making has been myopic and while doing little to protect jobs and native workers, threatens the future competitiveness of economies by ceding ground in the contest for the best and the brightest. This paper investigates the crisis policy developments in the context of strong multilateral institutions in trade, but not in immigration.

“…1 Despite this increase, the tendency in policies has been to restrict immigration; see, e.g., Boeri and Brücker (2005) and Hatton (2007). This apparent paradox seems to call for coordination of migration policies.…”

“…Reaping the full gains from migration requires coordination of migration policies among the grand coalition of both source and destination countries, but as argued in Hatton (2007) such coordination may be very difficult to implement because the gains from migration mainly accrue to the migrants themselves. However, there may also be a case for coordination between destination countries alone, where particularly two types of spill-overs -a terms-of trade externality and a welfare policy externality -may give rise to coordination failures across national jurisdictions; see also Boeri and Brücker (2005).…”

Does coordination of immigration policies among destination countries increase immigration?

We set up a theoretical model to analyze the implications of coordination of immigration policies among destination countries. The model contains two types of spill-overs between destination countries: A terms of trade externality and a welfare policy externality. We show that while coordination unambiguously increases welfare of the destination countries, the effects on the level of immigration and on the income distribution of natives are ambiguous. Thus, coordination among destination countries does not necessarily solve the global coordination problem of inoptimally low levels of migration.
