Immigration Article of the Day: Irregular Migration and International Economic Asymmetry by Chantal Thomas

Irregular Migration and International Economic Asymmetry by Chantal Thomas Forthcoming in WORLD TRADE AND INVESTMENT LAW REIMAGINED: A PROGRESSIVE AGENDA FOR AN INCLUSIVE GLOBALIZATION, edited by Alvaro Santos, Chantal Thomas, and David M. Trubek (Anthem Press, 2019). 

Abstract

The world is on the point of a stunning reversal. Nationalism and isolationism have surged against the global laws and institutions that have advanced economic liberalization and integration for half a century. Hostility is rising against international trade and international migration, both of which the new cadre of self-styled “anti-globalists” see as interrelated and threatening to national security and economic stability.
