Abstract:The Middle East is one of the regions with the most intensive migration activities in the world after World War II. The migration pattern in this region has reached the crisis tipping point since Middle East Upheaval，and will be a persistent international problem. This paper studies the migration pattern and the current migration governance frameworks in the Middle East，and specifically analyzes the dilemma of migration governance in this region. This paper analyzes the three main types of migrants in the Middle East，and argues that the region is the main source，recipient and transit place for international migrants，and changes of national migration policies of countries in this region produce the spillover effects. At present，the existing migration management mechanism in the Middle East does not include Israel and Turkey，the two important regional stakeholders，which seriously and negatively affects the effectiveness of the regional governance of the migration. In addition，the protection of the rights of migrants in this region is insufficient，and the cross-regional cooperation with EU countries is limited to the field of the migrants returning，which ignores the structural factors that contributed to the massive emigration. Therefore，various stakeholders need to adopt an integrated approach to optimize the overall benefits of migrants based on the principle of “fixing both the symptoms and the root causes”，working to simultaneously address the risks and challenges faced by individuals and communities in origin，transit and destination countries.
