The focus of this paper is a critique of the root causes approach to migration.
Description
More specifically it examines how the approach has been used to formulate policy at a European level and applies a critical appraisal of the root causes approach in general, to this policy, in particular the work of the High Level Working Group on Immigration and Asylum (HLWG). It is argued that a failure to successfully accommodate theories of migration undermines the approach in both theory and practice.
A range of theories which could usefully be encompassed within the root causes approach are identified and elucidated. One key area of concern within the root causes approach, rural to urban migration, is examined to provide material for a suggested way forward.
