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.
En el contexto actual, marcado por el auge de políticas restrictivas, la securitización de las fronteras, el impacto de la crisis climática y la creciente urbanización de los flujos migratorios, el GT impulsa un enfoque interdisciplinario, interseccional y comprometido con la justicia social. Su agenda de trabajo 2026–2028 fortalece el análisis, la formación y la articulación con actores sociales e institucionales para producir conocimiento situado e incidir en políticas más justas. Así, el grupo se consolida como un espacio clave para visibilizar las luchas migrantes y contribuir a la construcción de sociedades más inclusivas en la región
