Regional migration governance and social security regimes

This chapter explores the evolution and origins of provisions on social protection2 for migrant workers as well as reviewing the relationship with the current debate on regional migration governance. In particular, it aims to draw attention to the role played by regional processes in this area of increasing interest. To this end, this chapter attempts to develop a legal analysis of the normative development in two geographical contexts, namely the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
