Notices to authors
This special volume is underpinned by an interdisciplinary perspective and endeavors to enhance understanding of the complexity of African migration governance by considering various aspects of migration governance (migration and development, labor migration, irregular migration, human trafficking, just to name but a few) and migration governance architecture (institutions, regulatory frameworks, politics, actors, interests underlying African migration governance), various theoretical and methodological approaches, the local, national, regional, continental, international and global levels, as well as the historical, contemporary perspectives and future scenarios related to African migration governance. It also scrutinizes African migration governance’s social, economic, environmental, political, and geopolitical implications. The manuscripts submitted in this Special Volume can adopt a theoretical, empirical, or practical (policy) standpoint.
