Opis

Migration policies are rarely effective. From border controls to guest worker programs to immigrant integration measures, there are plenty of examples of the gaps between intended effects and unexpected, undesirable outcomes. In Latin America, very little is known about the concrete impact of state outreach efforts and what factors might make these policies sustainable and effective in the long run. Building upon field research done in Ecuador, Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil, Ana Margheritis explains the timing, motivations, characteristics, and implications of emigration policies implemented by each country and the migrant views in specific localities in Europe.
