The relationship between migration and development has become a major academic and polit-ical issue encompassing national, regional, and global contexts. Hitherto, the agenda for dis-cussion has been largely dictated by the governments of the major migrant-receiving northerncountries (primarily the US and the European Union) and implemented by key internationalorganisations such as the World Bank and the International Organization for Migration, aswell as some regional organisations such as the Inter-American Development Bank, theInternational Centre for Migration Policy Development, and the Organization for Security andCooperation in Europe. This Handbook proposes giving voice to more critical and heterodoxperspectives as well as voices from the South, in a bid to articulate a counter-hegemonic vision(see, in the same vein, Munck et al., 2020).
