These streams will entail the analysis of non-Western migration locales from (1) multi-level, (2) multi-geographic, and (3) comparative perspectives, as outlined below. RS1: Global context: Situating non-Western immigration and refugee laws and polici

RS2: Regional context: Regional migration governance regimes, flows, and processes in non-Western settings focus on (emerging) regional migration patterns, tendencies, and dynamics in the context of non-Western migration locales.

RS3: National context: Migration governance in non-Western, non-democratic migration locales examines the interplay between (a) immigration laws and policies and (b) migrants’ experiences in non-Western, non-democratic migration locales. The analysis of these processes requires us to adopt to a context-sensitive approach due to the fact that many non-Western migrant-receiving countries are nondemo
