| contents | Perspectives from governments of countries of origin and migrant associations Oliver Bakewell Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) integration Sending states migrant associations southsouth networks This paper draws on the oral presentations made by representatives of government and migrant associations at the Bellagio workshop, which gave valuable insights into aspects of the experience of migration and development which do not usually appear in the academic literature. It contrasts the changing perspectives of governments and migrant associations and their relationship. The former are increasing their engagement with migrants and encouraging their investment in the «homeland». Migrants associations are lobbying for migrants rights in countries of settlement and origin and attempting to build up national and international networks that will strengthen their voice. The paper looks at some of the inherent tensions in the relationship between migrant associations and their states of origin, which emerged at the workshop. It concludes by looking at some areas for further debate, research and action.These include strengthening «southsouth» linkages on migration issues; questioning the enthusiasm for temporary worker programmes among policy makers and some academics; and, the need for research to understand the factors that shape migrants different paths of settlement, integration and transnationalism. Both the migrant associations and government representatives had much more to say about improving migrants quality of life and encouraginginvestments, rather than the role of migration in contributing to an explicit development agenda. There appeared to be little enthusiasm for linking them together in an instrumental way: considering migration as a policy lever to enhance development, or viceversa, developmentas a policy lever to manage migration. 2006 artículo científico 1870-7599 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=66000708 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=660 Migración y Desarrollo application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas Migración y Desarrollo (México) Num.7 |
