- Contemporary international society goes through rapid transformations, including migratory flows on a greater scale than experienced hitherto. The African and the European Union have claimed joint responsibility in treating the root causes of migration by instigating development in sending countries. With the current pace, the common goal of reducing migration is far from being reached and new grounds for political cooperation are needed.
