"The discursive framework for development: from discourses and concrete political actions to the range of actions by deportee associations" by Anaik Pian

Abstract:

At the turn of the year 2006, the Senegalese coast became one of the points of departure of "cayucos" to the Canary Islands. While readmission agreements between Spain and Senegal are at the center of diplomatic concerns, the argument of development versus control of migration flows is taken up by the Senegalese government to negotiate with counterparts from the Spanish authorities.
