Summary/Abstract: Policy approaches towards the increasing trends of human mobility around the globe show the ambition to mainstream migration into development strategies. Their lasting ‘new optimism’ emphasize the role of consecutive migration-related behaviour types of migrant agency – which involve there-and-back movements of financial, human and social capitals – in enhancing developmental gains at origins and destinations. This paper, recognizing the lack of a coherent understanding of how these behaviour types and development are related, proposes a circular behavioural model for discussion, as an interpretative framework for studying Migration-and-Development.
