This article seeks to delineate a research approach and agenda with the ambition to rethink the governance of Mediterranean migration on a different scale: Mediterranean cities. The general purpose is to offer conceptual, theoretical, empirical and methodological preliminary arguments to support this rescaling proposal and to share insight on how it may contribute to reboot region-making and a potential paradigm change.

This article seeks to delineate a research approach and agenda with the ambition to rethink the governance of Mediterranean migration on a different scale: Mediterranean cities. The general purpose is to offer conceptual, theoretical, empirical and methodological preliminary arguments to support this rescaling proposal and to share insight on how it may contribute to reboot region-making and a potential paradigm change. Additionally, as I will frame it in the Introduction, the Med-Thinking approach will be key for this research enterprise. To go into more detail, in the first section I enter into the foundations of this research approach criss-crossing four critical reviews. In the second section I sketch the key-concepts shaping the theoretical basis of this research agenda. Then, in the third section I schematically present the main research areas following a multi-layered approach. In the concluding remarks, I tentatively channel the overall contributions towards a governance paradigm change argument.
