          Abstract

          AS REMESSAS contribuem para o desenvolvimento local e para redução da pobreza? Essa é a pergunta-chave que os estudos recentes sobre migrações internacionais têm levantado. O que se está procurando compreender é de que modo as remessas poderiam afetar positiva ou negativamente a economia dos países de origem dos imigrantes. Discutir o papel e o significado das remessas implica, assim, uma discussão em torno da existência (ou não) de um "campo de positividades" do fenômeno migratório internacional. O principal objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para essa discussão por meio de um estudo empírico do caso brasileiro que adota as remessas como foco. Para tanto, é identificado o perfil das remessas e dos remetentes, assim como os objetivos e os beneficiários do dinheiro enviado. A pesquisa usa uma abordagem baseada em entrevistas em profundidade e survey não-representativo (Boston e Governador Valadares).

          Translated abstract

          DO REMITTANCES contribute to local development and the reduction of poverty? What are the consequences of the dollars sent by the migrants to the people, families, and organizations that receive them in the cities of origin? These are the key questions that recent studies have raised. According to some authors "migration is inevitable and has the potential to be quite positive in terms of development and reduction of poverty. The policies that have their origins in this principle will be more successful than those that attempt to oppose, intransigently, both globalization and the migration of people in space". Do current international migrations produce positive local development effects? The main objective of this article is to contribute to this discussion through an empirical study of the Brazilian case, which takes remittances as its focus. Thus, we identify who the immigrants are who send remittances from the United States to Brazil, to what ends the remittances are directed, who the beneficiaries are, and how the remittances affect the lives of the people who benefit from them. The research is based on a non-representative but in-depth sample (Boston and Governador Valadares).
