16. CONCLUSION
Emergence of regional migration governance experienced three waves; 1)liberalization-based approach in 1990s, 2)security-based approach in 2000s, 3)multi-sectoral based approach in 2010s
Because Regional Migration Governance in southern Africa affected by the interests of member states, especially South Africa, inter- governmental approach is dominant in the region
Internal and External Transgovernmental Network contribute to develop regional migration governance by sharing interests among member states
Regional migration governance in southern Africa takes multi sectoral approach
