          Abstract

          Resumo A microrregião de Governador Valadares (MGV) é a mais representativa no cenário da emigração internacional de brasileiros para os Estados Unidos. Entretanto, na década de 2000, ocorreram situações na origem e no destino que economicamente poderiam provocar uma diminuição ou estancamento do fluxo de migrantes. Esse artigo procura analisar a hipótese de que, mesmo num cenário aparentemente adverso, a migração continuou a ocorrer na região com força considerável durante a década de 2000. Para tanto, buscou-se compreender como foi estabelecida, na MGV, a situação da emigração para os Estados Unidos e sua aderência explicativa junto às teorias sobre migrações, bem como realizar uma verificação objetiva dos volumes e fluxos de migrantes contidos neste sistema migratório. Observou-se então que, entre 2000 e 2010, o sistema de migração estruturado pelas redes sociais pessoais e demais mecanismos de perpetuação existentes na região exerceram uma força responsável pela preservação de um fluxo considerável durante esse período.

          Resumen La microrregión de Governador Valadares (MGV) es la más representativa en el ámbito de la emigración internacional de los brasileños a los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo en la primera década del siglo XXI nuevos y adversos cambios globales que económicamente podrían afectar ambos las regiones de origen y destino de los migrantes, probablemente conducirían a una disminución o hasta un estancamiento del flujo de migrantes. Este artículo busca analizar la hipótesis de que, incluso en un escenario aparentemente adverso, la migración continuó en la región con fuerza considerable durante los primeros años de la década de 2000. Para esto, se procuro entender cómo se ha configurado el estado de la migración internacional hacia Estados Unidos desde Governador Valadares y su adherencia explicativa con las teorías de la migración, así como la verificación objetiva de los volúmenes y flujos de migrantes que figuran en el sistema migratorio. Se observó que entre 2000 y 2010 el sistema de migración estructurado, basado y reforzado por las redes sociales personales ejerció fuerza considerable en la regulación del flujo emigratorio.

          Abstract The microregion of Governador Valadares (MGV) is the most representative Brazilian regional area regarding out-migration of Brazilians to the United States. However, in the 2000 decade, new and adverse global changes that economically would affect both the origin and destination settings implying in a probable reduction or even a complete interruption of out-migration flows. This paper aims to analyze the hypothesis that, even in an apparent adverse scenario, international out-migration continued with considerable intensity during the first half of the 2000 decade. The formation of the international out-migration flows from the MGV to the USA and its adherence to the migration theories was analyzed, and also provided an empirical investigation considering the stocks and flows of international migrants within the Brazil-USA migration system. The results show that in the 2000’s the structured migration system, based and reinforced by the personal migration networks in the region, exerted a considerable force towards the regulation of the out-migration flows.

              Migration and Development: A Theoretical Perspective 1

              The debate on migration and development has swung back and forth like a pendulum, from developmentalist optimism in the 1950s and 1960s, to neo‐Marxist pessimism over the 1970s and 1980s, towards more optimistic views in the 1990s and 2000s. This paper argues how such discursive shifts in the migration and development debate should be primarily seen as part of more general paradigm shifts in social and development theory. However, the classical opposition between pessimistic and optimistic views is challenged by empirical evidence pointing to the heterogeneity of migration impacts. By integrating and amending insights from the new economics of labor migration, livelihood perspectives in development studies and transnational perspectives in migration studies – which share several though as yet unobserved conceptual parallels – this paper elaborates the contours of a conceptual framework that simultaneously integrates agency and structure perspectives and is therefore able to account for the heterogeneous nature of migration‐development interactions. The resulting perspective reveals the naivety of recent views celebrating migration as self‐help development “from below”. These views are largely ideologically driven and shift the attention away from structural constraints and the vital role of states in shaping favorable conditions for positive development impacts of migration to occur.
