摘要

在欧洲的政策辩论中,冲突、经济危机、缺乏发展、人口增长和气候变化往往被视为非洲移民的根本原因。因此,为了阻止非正常移民涌入欧洲,援助主要针对这些原因。我们探讨了官方关于根本原因的论述与移民决策研究之间的差异,以及论述和证据与援助之间的关系。我们要问的是,如果援助有可能影响非正常移民,那么需要什么样的政策变革。考虑到非洲人向欧洲移民,我们研究了欧洲官方关于非正常移民根本原因的论述,强调了学术界对移民愿望和驱动因素理解的最新进展,并调查了分析外国援助对假定 "根本原因 "和移民影响的各种尝试。影响移民的援助必须彻底适应潜在移民的情况。解决所谓的根本原因可能与许多潜在移民无关,需要长期变革才能产生任何影响。它甚至可能在短期内增加移民人数。如果要通过发展合作阻止非洲人向欧洲的非正常移民,欧洲的政策制定者和发展实践者需要通过仔细了解各个地方和社会特有的移民动态来详细阐述和区分援助支持的活动。

Can European foreign aid motivate people to stay in Africa? The root causes policy debate and irregular migration

Motivation

In European policy debate, conflict, economic crisis, lack of development, population growth, and climate change are often seen as the root causes of migration from Africa. To deter irregular migration to Europe, aid has thus been directed towards these perceived causes. This seems, however, not to deter irregular migration.

Purpose

We explore the discrepancy between the official discourse of root causes and insights from research on migration decisions; and how discourse and evidence relate to aid. We ask what kind of policy change is needed if aid is possibly used to influence irregular migration. We focus on the motivations and drivers of migration and how development co-operation may influence these.

Methods and approach

Considering African migration to Europe, we examine the official European discourse on root causes of irregular migration, highlight recent developments in the academic understanding of migration aspirations and drivers, and investigate various attempts to analyse the impact of foreign aid on assumed “root causes” and migration.

Findings

Migration is influenced by drivers that differ according to the specific context in which potential migrants decide to migrate or not. Aid to influence migration must be thoroughly adapted to the circumstances of potential migrants. Addressing so-called root causes may be irrelevant to many potential migrants and will require long-term change to have any impact. It may even increase migration in the short term. Foreign aid that adopts a blueprint regardless of context is unlikely to deter irregular migration in the short or medium term.

Policy implications

If irregular African migration to Europe is to be deterred through development co-operation, European policy-makers and development practitioners need to elaborate and differentiate between aid-supported activities through careful understanding of the migration dynamics specific to individual localities and societies.
