Strangers in each other's lands: Democracy, migration, and inclusion in a mobile world.

- Abstract
This article examines the issue of migration and its impact on democracy and inclusion. It argues that current approaches to migration overlook the political agency of immigrants themselves. The article suggests a shift in focus towards the process of determining migrant rights, proposing a multinational regime where national governments engage in democratic deliberations. It explores examples such as the Global Compact on Migration and European Union citizenship to illustrate the feasibility of this approach. The article also discusses the concept of multinational cosmopolitanism as a potential solution, involving all nation states in decision-making to reconcile the interests of migrants and host countries. However, it acknowledges that the Global Compact on Migration lacks legally binding obligations for states, limiting its effectiveness. European Union citizenship provides certain rights and freedoms to EU citizens but not to third country nationals, falling short in terms of globality. While both the Global Compact on Migration and EU citizenship offer partial responses to the issue, they face practical challenges in implementation.
