Migration as a global challenge

Migration is an integral part of human nature. States, however, are still struggling to develop effective strategies towards migration governance. This is especially evident in the case of Mexico and Germany, two countries that have experienced high migratory pressure from 2015 onwards. This study examines migration governance in both countries from a cross-country perspective to draw broader conclusions regarding mitigation strategies of state and non-state actors in different settings. Furthermore, it presents recommendations for action at the level of individual countries and at the global level. Die Entwicklung effektiver Governancestrukturen im Bereich Migration ist eine Herausforderung für Staaten. Die Studie untersucht die Handlungsstrategien Deutschlands und Mexikos - zwei Länder, die seit 2015 hohem Migrationsdruck ausgesetzt sind. Im Rahmen einer vergleichenden Analyse werden Governanceansätze in unterschiedlichen Kontexten analysiert und Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet.
