Preface and Acknowledgments

The work on this project began in 2005, when the authors began thinking about how the work of international organizations, governments, and NGOs on international cooperation on migration could be linked with wider academic debates on the conditions under which cooperation itself fails or succeeds. There were three aspects to the research: case studies undertaken by members of the research team, a workshop in Toronto in June 2007, and, following revisions, a final conference in Geneva in August 2008. We will allow others to judge the results, but arriving at them has certainly been an intellectually rewarding experience for all of us.

For making it possible, we owe an immense debt to the Swiss Stiftung fr Bevlkerung, Migration und Umwelt (Foundation for Population, Migration, and the Environment; see http://www.bmu-foundation.ch/index_e.html). The Foundation provided us generous funding, which supported both conferences as well as primary research. Thanks also go to the Metropolis Project (http://canada.metropolis.net/index_e.html) and particularly its executive head, Howard Duncan. Metropolis was instrumental in providing initial support for this project, and Dr. Duncan took part in the Toronto meeting and provided invaluable feedback over the course of the research. Jeffrey Kopstein, director of the University of Toronto Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (CERES), kindly agreed to host the Toronto meeting, while Jobst Koehler, Frank Laczko, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) hosted the 2008 workshop. More broadly, IOM and the University of Torontos jointly administered the research funds, and we are grateful to both institutions. Finally, the University of California, Daviss Political Science Department has acted as a third institutional home for this project. Under Jeannette Moneys supervision, UC Davis undertook a focus group study of public opinion and provided generous research assistance support to this project.

For research assistance, we are thankful to Sarah Lockhart, Arjun Tremblay, and Ruben Zaoitti. Sarah played the particularly challenging double role of contributor and research assistant with skill and finesse. As a contributor, she took an active role in the intellectual construction of the project. As our coordinator for the edited volume, her attention to detail has been invaluable. Without her, this volume would never have made it to production.
