Abstract Arguing that research on migration and the state has focused primarily on receiving states, this article places sending and receiving states in a dynamic historical context within which states strive to protect political, economic, and socio‐cultural interests. This framework is applied to the Euro‐African migration system and leads to three primary findings. First, migration flows from Africa have diversified in terms of origins and destinations and no longer necessarily follow patterns of colonial relations. Such a trend calls into question the efficacy of bilateral responses. Second, African states have clearly demonstrated interests in managing emigration and return migration and need to be considered as partners in policy responses. Third, African migrant communities are exerting greater independence vis‐a‐vis sending and receiving states. This diversification and growing independence poses interesting challenges for sending and receiving state policy in the Euro‐African migration system.
