      abstract = {This book analyses the 2018 Global Compact on Migration  and the need for, and difficulties of adopting a  multilateral agreement on migration. Particular attention  is given to the challenges and constraints involved, given  not only the divergent needs and conditions of different  counties but also the varying interests of different groups  within countries. A synoptic history of previous attempts  at reaching a multilateral migration agreement is provided,  from 1927 onwards, to give context to the recent  negotiations. [The lack of a clear recognition of migration  as a global process and the absence of a firm commitment to  responsibility- sharing arrangements are highlighted.] [The  book explains why the 2018 migration is both a breakthrough  and at the same time an opportunity lost. In doing so,] it  also analyses the limitations of the present deal,  including inadequate attention to the root causes of forced  and disruptive migration in origin countries, and  highlights how the 2018 agreement can be built upon to  create a dynamic harmony in the global migration system.  The book will be relevant to researchers and policy makers  as well as to professionals and activists concerned with  migration, labour economics and international development.},
