Aligning Migration Management and the Migration-Development Nexus

Two of the most influential notions in migration research and policy since the turn of the Millennium have been ‘migration management’ and ‘the migration–development nexus’ In Europe no less than in other regions of the world, each of these notions has spawned substantial research. But very few publications have examined the connections between the two, and the linkages remain elusive. Addressing migration challenges—which have reached unprecedented proportions over the past two years—requires an approach that aligns the two research fields and translates the connections into policy implications. This is the challenge at the heart of MIGNEX.
