RIGHTS

The empirical core of the RIGHTS project is a systematic comparative case study of six origin countries with partly overlapping destination countries and three of these destination countries. By examining a diverse set of countries and looking at migration as part of international relations the project can yield new insights into migration governance and ways to shape the rights of low-skilled migrants... The RIGHTS project seeks to understand why origin countries push for rights and why destination countries comply with these demands. It will look at the role of other aspects of the bilateral relationships such as regional cooperation and trade... While global governance in trade and finance has become established. Global governance on migration is still in its infancy. The agreements that have been set up, may nonetheless influence bilateral and multilateral discussion on the rights of low skilled workers.
