Resumen de Dimensiones críticas de la problemática de la migración y el desarrollo en México
Humberto Márquez Covarrubias, Raúl Delgado Wise, Miguel Moctezuma Longoria
This article analyzes the migration and development policy recently postulated by the international organisms. It focuses on the Mexican case, at present the world¿s top exporter of migrant labor. Our central concept is the development model based on remittances. This concept explains the role assigned to migrants in the socioeconomic stability of the major labor exportation countries. We conclude that remittances do not constitute an instrument or a motor for local or regional development in Mexico, and that the aforesaid model is rather a by-product of the North American economic integration process based on the exportation of workforce. Under these guidelines the new social policy helps to legitimate the neoliberal development policy and to guarantee certain governance, without supporting in any reliable way local, regional or national development.
