    Abstract

    In political terms, Africa is becoming more and more important for Germany. For example, its Federal Gov- ernment has stated that it has “recognized the signi- ficance and potential of our neighboring continent and is striving for a deeper partnership.” German politi- cians have never travelled to African countries as often as they have in recent years. One of the key reasons behind this is the issue of migration, as the so-called “displacement crisis” has heralded a new era in terms of foreign policies on Africa and migration. The issue is also becoming increasingly charged due to demographic developments on the African conti- nent and the shortage of skilled workers in Germany. Against this background, cooperation in a spirit of partnership will play a crucial role in efforts to tackle the current migration policy challenges – i.e., the lack of prospects for young people in Africa and the importance of multilateral cooperation – but also to address them profitably from a market economy perspective.
