How do security concerns, as discussed by Rosewarne and Piper, contribute to the failures of global economic governance in addressing migration and poverty, particularly in the context of the "safe third country" concept?
Security concerns are used as a pretext to justify tighter migration controls, disproportionately impacting migrants from poorer countries. This approach legitimizes the use of neighboring countries in the Global South as open-air detention centers for migrants, allowing wealthy nations to avoid accepting refugees and shifting the responsibility for managing migration to less wealthy nations. Ultimately, this focus on security detracts from addressing poverty and structural inequalities, framing migrants as security threats rather than as individuals fleeing from dire circumstances.

How do Estevez and Rosewarne/Piper differ in their critiques of migration control policies as tools of global economic governance?
Estevez focuses on how migration laws depopulate resource-rich areas and enforce inequality through violence, while Rosewarne and Piper critique migration controls for prioritizing national security over global justice. Both critiques highlight how these policies serve the interests of wealthier nations, but Estevez is more focused on the use of violence and resource extraction as key drivers of forced migration.
