In the last five years, academic research on codevelopment increased, as a result of the strong immigration process experienced by the Spanish society from 2000 onwards (which represented nearly 80% of Spain’s demographic growth). A website devoted to codevelopment, with many useful resources and discussions papers, was set up by CIDEAL, a development cooperation think tank. Many universities decided to open up new learning courses on the matter, following the steps of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Several doctoral thesis are currently being carried out, focusing diverse aspects of codevelopment, including the impact of migration and remittances in the sending countries, mainly Ecuador, Colombia and Morocco. Migrants living in Spain remitted nearly EURO 10 thousands millions, in 2007 (while the overall Spanish OAD summed only half of this amount).
▲''Current definitions of codevelopment in Spain''
The Spanish viewpoint on codevelopment has been strongly influenced by the work of the Migration and Development International Network, based in the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas and El Colef (El Colegio de la Frontera Norte), in Tijuana, Mexico.
