Sažetak
Development aid, one of the most important mechanisms for the redistribution of global
wealth, represents financial flows that have economic growth and social improvement as their main
objective. It has also frequently been described as an instrument which is able to diminish
international migrations and is used by several developed countries. Recently, much empirical
evidence and several contributors have argued that connection and set out other grounds. This paper
explores the interaction between development aid and migrations from developing to developed
countries. We want to determine, if the amount of development aid has any impact on migrations from
African, Caribbean, and the Pacific Group of States. Our results show that development aid does not
have a direct effect on migrations and therefore, in terms of international migrations, is not
effective. Moreover, we will argue that the donor side should use different policies and other
mechanisms to manage migrations from those countries.
