Abstract

Bei den deutschen und europäischen Bemühungen, die irreguläre Zuwanderung vor allem aus Subsahara-Afrika zu verringern, ruhen große Hoffnungen auf der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit. Sie soll helfen, möglichst viele Ursachen für solche Wanderungen zu beseitigen. In allen einschlägigen Konzepten wird ihr eine Schlüsselrolle zugewiesen. Dies wirft grundsätzliche Fragen nach dem Zusammenhang von Entwicklung und Migration auf. In der wissenschaftlichen Debatte gilt seit längerem als belegt, dass sozioökonomische Entwicklung Migration fördert, statt sie zu reduzieren. Tatsächlich aber ist diese Kausalbeziehung nicht so eindeutig, wie es das entsprechende Modell des 'migration hump' suggeriert. Offenbar werden Wanderungsentscheidungen durch weitere Faktoren beeinflusst. Daher ist es problematisch, wenn die Politik diese Scheinevidenz aufgreift und daraus simple Strategien ableitet. Der Kontext von Migration und Entwicklung muss differenzierter analysiert werden. Auf diese Weise lassen sich entwicklungspolitische Ansätze auch für die Zusammenarbeit mit afrikanischen Partnerstaaten gewinnen.
