Publicación The Intersection of Migration with Authoritarian and Illiberal Tendencies: Contextualized in Latin America and the Middle EastChristy Baile Crouse; Nur Elçik Sari; Jessica Corredor VillamilDemocratic and authoritarian governments alike may respond to migrant flows with authoritarian and illiberal tendencies. These practices tend to negatively impact the inclusion, protection, and humane treatment of migrants. We view this as a problem; migration or the movement of people is a reality, and the response to this reality is a choice that countries are faced with constantly. We wish to better understand the factors that trigger or mitigate these authoritarian and illiberal responses to migration. This exploratory, theoretical study engages with the nuance of both migration and authoritarian tendencies to provide a wide and conversation-starting introduction to the intersection of these topics. For this research, we focus on Latin America and the Caribbean (lac) and the Middle East and North Africa (mena), with examples from Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Turkey, and Lebanon. These two regions are currently experiencing major migration crises. Our study aims to contribute to the conversation and debate about the ways in which countries respond with authoritarian or illiberal tendencies to migrant flows into, out of, or through them. Our guiding questions include: How are migration flows revealing and provoking authoritarian and illiberal tendencies in countries with different levels of democratic development? What are the illiberal and authoritarian tendencies that we observe in the responses to migrant flows of countries with differing levels of democracy? What are the authoritarian and illiberal practices that contribute to migrants’ low acceptance and integration in destination countries? What factors trigger, or mitigate, these tendencies in both receiving and sending countries? These questions help us explore the relationship between migration and authoritarian and illiberal tendencies. Our findings identify certain factors that we believe either trigger or mitigate such tendencies.Publicación Migration and decent work. Challenges for the Global SouthLucía Ramírez Bolívar (Ed.); Jessica Corredor Villamil (Ed.)Migration and Decent Work: Challenges for the Global South takes a journey through nine countries in the global South—from Mexico to India to Argentina to Turkey—to explore the relationship between migration and work from a human rights perspective. Labor insertion is one of the most effective forms of integration because it allows migrants and refugees to enjoy more dignified living conditions, to contribute to the development of host communities, and to build relationships with the local population. But ensuring the right to work is a challenge for countries in the global South that have weak or developing economies and problems with job creation, which can force many people—not just migrants—to engage in precarious work and put themselves at risk of labor exploitation. Under these circumstances, advocating for migrants’ and refugees’ right to work is more urgent than ever. The recognition of decent work as a human right means that states may not pursue economic growth at the expense of the exploitation of migrants and refugees, but instead must seek to ensure opportunities and prosperity for all. In this regard, it is critical to foster discussions, such as the ones featured in this book, that facilitate the sharing of experiences and lessons learned on the labor conditions of migrants and refugees. The authors of the nine chapters in Migration and Decent Work are activists, academics, and members of civil society who have worked on the issue of migration from different angles and who address the challenge of migrants’ labor inclusion from an interdisciplinary and rights-based perspective. Their contributions offer an overview of migrants’ and refugees’ right to work in a range of countries in the global South based on an analysis of local contexts, public policies, and the everyday realities faced by these workers. In addition to offering local and global recommendations for ensuring the right to decent work for migrants and refugees, this book seeks to strengthen the human rights movement through collaboration and the sharing of experiences. The diversity of voices featured here offers a look at migration based on and intended for the global South.
