| dc.description | South–South migration has slowly but surely emerged as a key cross-cutting issue for migration and development researchers and practitioners. In 2008, when the European Union and the African, Caribbean, Pacific (ACP) Group of States called for the establishment of an observatory on migration, the idea of looking at migration from an exclusively “Southern” perspective was innovative and little explored. Reconsidering the issue in 2014, migration within the South of the world and its impact on development is accepted as a recognized topic by governments and institutions, supported by improved statistical evidence and socioeconomic data. The global perception of migration and its dynamics have changed and will continue to change at a fast-growing speed, with the emergence of regional poles in the South playing increasingly important roles in shaping geopolitical, economic and social change, and as a consequence of the economic recession and slow or even reversed growth in the North. Still, despite this backdrop, the quantity and quality of studies and analysis on South–South migration are scarce in number and limited in scope, with the recent research activities by the ACP Observatory on Migration aiming to fill part of this gap. The ACP Observatory was established in 2010 to produce data on South– South migration within ACP countries for migrants, civil society and policymakers; enhance research capacities and capabilities in ACP countries; and facilitate the creation of a network of research institutions and experts on migration research. Through a bottom-up approach, the ACP Observatory is linking research and data with a network of national stakeholders that includes representatives of governments, academia and civil society. These activities are supported by an academic consortium of research and university centers based in ACP countries and Europe. Approaching migration analysis from this standpoint, it is with great pleasure that the ACP Observatory welcomes this contribution edited by Rudolf Anich, Jonathan Crush, Susanne Melde and John O. Oucho. This publication thoroughly investigates critical issues of the migration debate, spanning from the terminological and contextual meaning of “migration” and “development”, and carefully moving the lenses from South–North and North–North to South–South. In this way, the edited volume questions our traditional conception of the migration paradigm and shedding innovative insights on South–South mobility, on critical realities such as diaspora communities living in the South, and on environmental change and its impact on development or child migration. This critical contribution will help to expand the debate and stimulate further research on this topic and, hopefully, promote future activities aiming at the protection of migrants and their families living in the South. | - |
