Abstract
The paper explores the migration–development nexus in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) from the perspective of the development policies vis-à-vis returnees and refugee migrants from 1995 onwards. In order to understand the link between the two, the paper elaborates on the Center for Local Development and Diaspora (CLDD) model established between the City of Stockholm and six municipalities in BiH. The key question is how ‘development’ can be understood under the complexities of the economic and social transformation processes in BiH. The empirical evidence – based on interviews with individuals conducted in BiH and Sweden in 2012 – suggests that the meaning and implications of ‘development’ recommended by the CLDD model differ from how returnees and refugee migrants perceive these.
