Mixed methods research in poverty and vulnerability : sharing ideas and learning lessons
\"The added value of mixed methods research in poverty and vulnerability is now widely recognized. However, despite the expanding volume of literature on the use of mixed methods, gaps and challenges still remain. This edited volume focuses on issues of credibility, usability and complexity, considering how mixed methods approaches can better respond to these issues so as to make research more credible, usable and responsive to complexity. The contributors share experiences and lessons learned from research in developed and developing country contexts in respect of mixed methods in poverty measurement, evaluation research and the translation from research to policy\"-- Provided by publisher.

Let's Argue about Migration: advancing a right(s) discourse via communicative opportunities
The emerging global governance of migration is dominated by two discourses which shape policy approaches: 1) migration management and 2) the migration-development nexus. With large numbers of labour migrants being marginalised, migrant rights organisations have formed global alliances to argue for the centrality of a third discourse, the rights-based approach to migration. The question is how to inject this into the global debate which has sidelined migrant rights issues. Despite having hardly any bargaining power and restricted space for direct access vis-à-vis global governing institutions, migrant rights organisations are employing a number of strategies to overcome this marginalisation. We analyse these efforts by drawing on social movement studies and International Relations research on communicative action. Empirically this article draws on observations made during two major global fora: the negotiations in connection with the new Convention on 'Decent Work for Domestic Workers' at the International Labour Conference (ilc) and civil society participation in the Global Forum on Migration and Development (gfmd).
