Abstract
Migration policies in south-north contexts have attracted media and academic attention, causing the policies implemented to respond to and control South-South migration to be invited. In the case of South America, analyses have developed over the last decade, in the context of the ‘left-hand turn’, revealing overly optimistic views about the ‘progressive’ migration laws adopted since the beginning of the century in the region; on the other hand, analyses of the convergence between old and new migration control practices and the way in which current migration policies are now based, both on the need to safeguard national security and on the willingness to protect migrants’ rights, are still limited.
