Migration, Inclusiveness and SustainabilityUdgave 1

Migration, Inclusiveness and Sustainability examines the relationships between migration, inclusiveness and sustainability in Europe, through nexus thinking. It identifies inclusiveness and sustainability as key pillars of transformational change as defined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The book’s approach recognizes that appropriate strategies for one objective must equally consider the others because of the existence of intrinsic interlinkages between these goals. Relevant questions explored include: How can inclusiveness be conceptualized and operationalized in migration systems? How can migration governance best promote sustainable development? How do inclusiveness and sustainability relate to each other as political objectives? In order to respond to these and related questions, this book is structured around three parts. Each part focuses on a specific nexus (the Migration-Inclusiveness Nexus, the Migration-Sustainability Nexus and the Inclusiveness-Sustainability Nexus). The conclusion directly addresses the Migration-Inclusiveness-Sustainability Nexus within the framework of transformational development promoted by the SDGs.

A novel analysis of two typically separate and distinct scholarly fields of research, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of International Relations, Politics, Sustainable Development, Public Policy, Migration and Refugee Studies, Human Rights and Development Studies.
