Against the background of increased human mobility over the last three
decades, resurgent interest in the migration-development nexus has
stimulated new lines of academic inquiry and pushed policy
considerations in new directions. This paper outlines current
discussions around the links between migration, development and

difficulties in distinguishing between forced/political and
voluntary/economic migration, and the links to development from these
various – and often overlapping – types of flows. The paper uses
migration from Somalia/Somaliland as the main example. This case – like
the cases of most other sending countries - is of course specific. Still
lessons can be drawn that are useful in other contexts, and may provide
a basis for constructive discussion of potential opportunities in the
current migration and international cooperation regimes. Read more
