ONLINE: UNU-MERIT will host a seminar with Dr Raphaela Schweiger on her new book on the role of non-state actors and cities in global migration.

Time
- Europe/Amsterdam

On 7 June 2023 at 16:00 (CEST), the UNU Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) will host an online seminar featuring Dr Raphaela Schweiger of Robert Bosch Stiftung, on her new book, 'Beyond states: The Global Compact for Migration and the role of non-state actors and cities', and her take on the evolution and future of global migration governance.

In her book, Dr Schweiger investigates the role and influence of non-state actors (NSAs) and local authorities in the process leading to the adoption of the 2018 Global Compact for Migration (GCM), the first intergovernmental negotiation of its kind at the UN. The research draws upon methods initially applied to assess global climate negotiations and, for the first time, analyses the influence of NSAs and local authorities in an international negotiation on migration.

The seminar will take place on Zoom. Click on this link to join.  The seminar will also be recorded and live streamed on UNU-MERIT’s YouTube channel.
