El nexo migración-desarrollo en la Agenda 2030 para el desarrollo sostenible

Abstract

What are the characteristics and what implications do the different frameworks of the migration-development nexus have in relation to the problem of migration-related conditionality? What framework of the migration-development nexus does the 2030 Agenda offer? With this contribution we intend to reflect on the problem of migration-related conditionality. To do this, we analyze the political frameworks that support the different approaches to the so-called migration-development nexus. Our objective is to place this reflection in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to find out what vision of the migration-development nexus it formulates and, therefore, about the problem of migration-related conditionality. The aid conditionality aid has been present since the origins of development policy. There are several types of conditionality, among which economic and political must be highlighted. As of September 11, the securitization of aid development was reinforced. Subsequently, the phenomenon of international migration became involved in that process. In this way the so-called migration-related conditionality arises. Firstly, we briefly expose the historical evolution of conditionality. Secondly, we explain the two theoretical-conceptual approaches to the migration-development nexus, which offer conflicting views: one approach states that migration positively impacts on development, while the other understands that the impact is negative. Finally, we offer a better understanding of the framing of migration and the conceptualization of the migration-development nexus carried out by 2030 Agenda. In this wat we can conclude whether this initiative seek to reduce or increase the migration-related conditionality.
