Title: Bringing migration into the post-2015 agenda: Notes, reflections and policy 
	 directions
Abstract: Migration was not an explicit goal of the Millennium Development Goals 
	 (MDGs), rightly so in this writer's view, but it was indirectly an 
	 integral part of achieving many, if not all, of the goals themselves. As 
	 we move towards the end of the MDG period in 2015, it is worth 
	 reflecting upon what will follow, and if and how migration should be 
	 incorporated into what is to follow. Two dimensions are central to such 
	 a discussion: first, the nature of the development goals post-2015; 
	 second, how migration might fit into these goals. These notes and 
	 reflections will conclude with a possible policy direction that just 
	 might provide a path towards integrating migration into development.
