- Abstract
- This paper investigated the effect of asylum-seeker movement on bilateral aid
allocation focusing on European donors over the period of 2009-2015 in which
Europe has been suffering from an unwanted foreign intrusion. The underlying
assumption on the relationship between asylum-seeker movement and bilateral aid
allocation is that a donors security interest attached to bilateral aid allocation gains
more significance by using bilateral aid as a policy measure to address a growing
security threat entailed by the migratory movement of asylum-seekers. This is
because the migratory movement of asylum-seekers is largely believed to be caused
by a malaise of development and fragility of the global South which is normally
tackled by a provision of foreign aid. By doing so, a relative significance and/or
presence of a donors security interest among other purposes of bilateral aid (i.e.
recipients needs, aid effectiveness etc.) is expected to be revealed.
A fixed-effects model was applied to a panel of 21 OECD DAC EU donors
and 137 OECD DAC recipients over the period of 2009-2015. The empirical analysis
suggests that the influx of asylum-seekers from recipient countries is associated with
an increase in overall volume of bilateral aid committed by European donors to the
respective recipient countries, particularly in those with close geographical
proximity to the asylum-seeker movement or high immigration rate. Furthermore,
such an increase in bilateral aid allocated to asylum-seeker sending countries is
focused on the sectors that are assumed to be able to tackle the root causes of
irregular migration by providing a firm ground for sustainable development and
stability.
