CLACSO Working Groups on Migration and South-South Borders
The Central American region experiences a significant flow of human mobility, resulting from the interaction of various structural factors, such as poverty, food insecurity, economic crises, violence perpetrated by organized groups, and recurring human rights violations, among others. Research on migration in Central America, the specific characteristics of migration flows within the countries, and the public policies aimed at this population—unlike what occurs, for example, in South America—is a field of study ripe for exploration. Based on an updated analysis of the main trends in migration flows and the initiatives of political and social actors working in the field of migration, this book seeks to contribute to the study of migration in Central America.
