• Resumen

  • Return migration has been named as one of the causes behind the change observed since 2008 in the historical pattern of Mexico-US immigration (Passel, Cohn and González-Barrera, 2012). Many academic meetings have been organized trying to understand its implications for theoretical, empirical and policy studies. This special issue contains some of the research presented in meetings organized at Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP) in 2017 and 2019.

    Because the different investigations presented at the two conferences keep a similar focus on migration and its ramifications into return migration, remittances and entrepreneurship, but presented multiple views and methods from the Social Sciences and Humanities, about topics related to regional and sectorial studies, it was decided jointly by the group of specialists that worked in these topics that a collective work should be published in a peer reviewed journal that would allow us to present the work as close as it was planned. Paradigma Económico is the journal that allowed us to present our collective work as close as it was originally presented in the conferences, at the same time that each paper went through a rigorous double blinded process. Because of this, we give special thanks to Leobardo de Jesús Almonte for its encouragement and support to go through all the lengthy process of editing a peer reviewed special number.
