Abstract (deu)
Migration processes are not a linear phenomenon. Given that the movement of people differs in terms of drivers and individual status, it is not simple to trace a singular pattern in human mobility. In this sense, this complex and increasingly relevant phenomenon requires an analytical framework that includes its regularities and patterns, as well as its differentiations and singularities. By viewing human mobility as an intrinsic part of a broader process of social change and development, the present research analyses how macrostructural changes and actors shape and are shaped by migration processes. Therefore, analysing the counterintuitive aspects of migration in development helps to formulate adequate responses to different framework conditions, in an attempt to optimize the constructive effects and minimize the challenges of migration in development. Finally, in order to understand how development cooperation projects are conducted in relation to human mobility and their impact on multi-level migration governance, the Better Migration Management (BMM) Programme in the Horn of Africa is examined as case study.
