Abstract
This chapter advances a shift into a new critical development-oriented thinking on forced migration and asylum seeking. It presents the need to reframe interventions towards a broader development inclined focus, given the surge in global numbers of forced migrants and asylum seekers. The chapter emerges from Geiger and Pécoud’s (2013) deliberations on a ‘migration-development nexus’ sustained by global development disparities, whose resultant inequalities have led to persistent migration pressures. We interrogate the increasingly protracted dynamics of forced migration and asylum seeking by expanding the debate beyond humanitarian responses towards the inclusion of a human development approach. One focus that emerges from the chapter is how the field of education could enhance the human development capacities of both ‘locals’ and migrants, by creating glocal learning spaces in complex social contexts of migrancy.
