International labor migration: between human rights and political objectives

Abstract

This paper deals with the relation between the human right to migrate and the objectives of immigration policies. We argue that the temporary work migration is the clearest sign of the failure of political governance in both the host and native states, even if we may argue, to a different degree. The only way to reduce the pressure of immigration in developed countries would be to allow a freer global environment, in trade, industrial and taxation policies.labor migration, human rights, political governance, public goods
