    As the European Union and its member states pursue joint and bilateral policies to meet the dual challenge of managing the current refugee situation, migration management is emerging as a top priority area in various policy fields, including foreign, security and development policy. The emphasis on combatting irregular migration and increasing both external and internal border control may have brought down the number of detected entries to Europe. Yet, these measures have created considerable unintended human security consequences for people on the move in search of security, survival or better livelihood opportunities. A new DIIS Report takes a closer look at recent EU migration policy instruments (including the controversial EU-Turkey deal) and reviews challenges for human security, for border security and for European geopolitical security. The report concludes that European policy responses to the refugee situation have undermined the human security of those who need it most: people fleeing violent conflicts and other life-threatening situations. The sealing-off of Europe's external borders have led migrants and refugees to seek out riskier routes and created a hitherto unknown level of human smuggling, driving human mobility underground. Third country agreements on joint migration management have provided a welcome solution to political pressures to stem migration in the short term. The long-term unintended consequences of striking deals with regimes that otherwise attract criticism are still unclear. There are signs, however, that the containment of migrants and refugees within the territories of such states is becoming a bargaining tool that may act against EU foreign policy interests.

    Climate change is widely expected to produce new and/or intensified mobility patterns, including migration and displacement. However, research on the relationship between climate change and human mobility is limited, especially regarding the role of governance contexts and interventions in shaping mobility responses. The Governing Climate Mobility (GCM) Research Programme seeks to address this gap by examining the relationships between climate change, mobility and governance in Ghana and Ethiopia. This working paper is a scoping study of the programme's case-study areas in the Upper West and Eastern Regions of Ghanaand provides data and analysis on relevant environmental, socio-economic, governance and mobility dynamics. This includes multi-decadal analyses of changes in temperatures, rainfall and vegetation, linking these, and how they are experienced locally, to existing governance and mobility contexts. It builds on a previous GCM working paper on the historical links between climate, mobility and governance in Ghana and identifies key dynamics for further study.

    "This volume examines the relationship between hope, mobility, and immobility in African migration. Through case studies set within and beyond the continent, it demonstrates that hope offers a unique prism for analyzing the social imaginaries and aspirations which underpin migration in situations of uncertainty, deepening inequality, and delimited access to global circuits of legal mobility.

     

    The volume takes departure in a mobility paradox that characterizes contemporary migration. Whereas people all over the world are exposed to widening sets of meaning of the good life elsewhere, an increasing number of people in the Global South have little or no access to authorized modes of international migration. This book examines how African migrants respond to this situation. Focusing on hope, it explores migrants’ temporal and spatial horizons of expectation and possibility and how these horizons link to mobility practices. Such analysis is pertinent as precarious life conditions and increasingly restrictive regimes of mobility characterize the lives of many Africans, while migration continues to constitute important livelihood strategies and to be seen as pathways of improvement. Whereas involuntary immobility is one consequence, another is the emergence and consolidation of new destinations emerging in the Global South. The volume examines this development through empirically grounded and theoretically rich case studies in migrants’ countries of origin, zones of transit, and in new and established destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Latin America and China. It thereby offers an original perspective on linkages between migration, hope, and immobility, ranging from migration aspirations to return. "

    This report examines programmes targeting specific migrants and diaspora groups as development agents with particular emphasis on fragile situations. It is part of the Research and Communication Programme (ReCom) on Foreign Aid, and is commissioned by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The examination has the following objectives: 1. To study the results of migration-development programmes with particular emphasis on improved poverty reduction and service delivery, and reconstruction processes. 2. To identify practices producing intended or unintended positive and negative results as well as any dilemmas in these results, and to relate practices producing desired results across contexts. 3. To assess the validity and scope of the material on diaspora groups as development agents in fragile situations. Three kinds of programmes are examined respectively focusing on: remittances, diaspora organisations and return, together representing some of the most common migration-development programmes in fragile situations. Selection criteria for specific programmes and cases were based on relevance and good documentation. This material is supplemented by interviews with Danish NGO personnel, a Somali diaspora organisation, and academic studies. The study shows that programme experiences are mixed and highly contextual. Nevertheless, some general lessons learnt have been identified, presented below.

    In recent years, there has been a reconfiguration of the relationship between states and international migrants. From an overall perception of migration as a problem to be solved, a number of international development agencies, policy makers, and academics are taking the position that migration contributes to national development - if well managed. This aspiration indicates the (re-)discovery of non-resident citizens or former citizens as populations to be governed by their states of origin. The implications of this aspiration are examined in this working paper, focusing on migration-development scenarios in Ghana. The paper is inspired by anthropological and critical development studies on statecraft and public policy, approaching migration-development scenarios as a cultural and political object of study. Using the theatrical metaphor of scenario, it analyzes actually implemented policies as well as policy visions and debates, focusing on the underlying narratives and imaginaries of how migration and development are interlinked and can be governed. The paper argues that the Ghanaian migration-development policy initiatives are attempts to symbolically include international migrants in the nation and to constitute them as a patriotic and governable population, ascribing a central role to the state in facilitating and governing international migration for national development. The policies thereby send a signal to migrants as well as to other states of the Ghanaian state's ambition to perform sovereignty in the sense of controlling subjects and resources - even if they are located outside the national territory. Migration-development initiatives thus also function as a policy spectacle where the government signals that it is taking its responsibility as a migrant-sending state seriously.
