International migration has become a salient concern in global politics but there is also significant variation in governance responses. By focusing on four key world regions - Europe, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia - this book explores the underlying factors that shape governance responses. Rather than focusing on the more visible outputs or outcomes of governance processes such as laws and policies, this book opens the 'black box' of migration governance to reveal how understandings and representations of the causes and effects of migration held by key governance actors in these four regions have powerful effects, not only on governance outcomes, but more broadly on the prospects for global migration governance.

While this volume contributes to the expansion of knowledge about the criminalization of migration, this article seeks to build on collected contributions by identifying gaps that can impede uptake of this knowledge, particularly by policymakers and practitioners. I argue that a key challenge is not necessarily a lack of scientific evidence and information, but limits to the use or uptake of research. These limits are characterized as being linked to more general challenges of "post-normal" science when facts and values can at times be uncertain and contested while the stakes are very high and the need for decisions is seen as being urgent.
