After having recalled the two‐way links between international migration and development and having placed migratory movements in the con‐textof globalisation, the author examines the new situation created by the strengthening of immigration control policies and the relevance of the alternative strategy which considers free trade as a substitute for migration. He examines to what extent the effects of economic liberalisation are likely to modify the decision to emigrate. In conclusion, he outlines various impli‐cations for migration policies.
