LSA 2027 will be in Hong Kong, where I often am, with a theme focused on mobility, so I can't help but be there - let me know if you will be, too.

It therefore looks beyond a functionalist reading of the expansion of ICEM, which has become the International Organization for Migration today. If you have institutional access, you can read it here: www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edi...

In new research, published in Third World Quarterly, Christopher Szabla, Assistant Professor in International Law at Durham University, traces the roots of contemporary migration debates to the “long 1970s.”, which was a key turning point in global migration governance.
