Universal access to social protection for migrant workers is emerging as a problematic issue in the implementation of free movement regimes at a regional level. This article focuses on the concept of regional governance as a possible mechanism to address the unsolved challenges of social security regimes to extend coverage. To this end, the article looks at current legal developments in two regional projects (ASEAN and MERCOSUR) to identify a creative approach to strengthen the development of national floors of social protection. The interest of using these case studies lies in exploring whether the regional integration process can play a major role in the progressive extension of social protection rights to migrant workers by facilitating the adoption of social security agreements.

全球-区域互动以扩大移民工人获得社会保护的机会：来自东盟和南方共同市场的见解

在区域层面实施自由流动制度时，移民工人普遍获得社会保护正在成为一个有问题的问题。本文重点讨论区域治理的概念，将其作为解决社会保障制度未解决的挑战以扩大覆盖面的一种可能机制。为此，本文着眼于两个区域项目（东盟和南方共同市场）的当前法律发展，以确定加强国家社会保护底线发展的创造性方法。使用这些案例研究的兴趣在于探索区域一体化进程是否可以通过促进社会保障协议的采用，在逐步将社会保护权利扩展到农民工方面发挥重要作用。
