Migration and South-South borders

El Workgroup Migration and South-South Borders It proposes a critical look at human mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean, understanding migrations as part of a system traversed by structural inequalities, neoliberal logics and historical processes of exclusion.

In contrast to discourses that reduce migration to a problem, the Working Group emphasizes the need to recover historical narratives, challenge dominant perspectives, and recognize migrants as social actors with agency. From this perspective, migration is understood as a complex, diverse, and profoundly political process, linked to territorial transformations and struggles for rights.

In the current context, marked by the rise of restrictive policies, the securitization of borders, the impact of the climate crisis, and the increasing urbanization of migration flows, the Working Group promotes an interdisciplinary, intersectional approach committed to social justice. Its 2026–2028 work agenda strengthens analysis, training, and collaboration with social and institutional actors to produce situated knowledge and influence fairer policies. Thus, the group is consolidating its position as a key space for highlighting migrant struggles and contributing to the construction of more inclusive societies in the region.
