Brief overview of scientific production on Brazil-Chile migration flows

thematic and analytical survey

Abstract

Regional migration has been gaining increasing attention in the Brazilian scientific community. The historical tendency to prioritize analyses of European, Asian and Arab immigration or Brazilian emigration, mainly to the United States and Western Europe, is being modified by a greater number of studies addressing South-South migration, reflecting the growth of these migratory flows in the world, in the region and in Brazil. In this context, the immigration of South Americans to Brazil and of Brazilians to neighboring countries are analyzed from different perspectives. In this work, we intend to examine the scientific production in Brazil on migratory flows between Brazil and Chile, seeking to identify the most widely used themes, concepts and forms of analysis.
