The potential effect of the African integration process on migration flows

As a contribution to the emerging debate on labour mobility as an adaptation strategy for migrants in regional settings lacking competitiveness and human capital development, the present paper will analyse the potential effects this regional integration could have on migration flows from the south to the North.

Abstract

In the sense of a diffusion of the underlying principle of partnership cooperation another dimension of the paper analyses the effects, if any, of the contribution of the Swiss – Nigerian Migration partnerships on the African integration process.
