RESPUESTAS DE LOS PAÍSES DEL PACÍFICO SURAMERICANO ANTE LA MIGRACIÓN VENEZOLANA: ESTUDIO COMPARADO DE POLÍTICAS MIGRATORIAS EN COLOMBIA, ECUADOR Y PERÚ

Abstract

The article's objective is to analyze the migratory flow from Venezuela to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru in the period 2015-2019. A comparative analysis is made of the evolution of migration policies in the three countries, based on a legislative review, policy analysis, and institutional measures adopted. While there is an emerging policy coordination at the regional level, there are also particularities in the responses built in the countries studied. Venezuelan migration has become a priority in the South Pacific sub-region, with specific but not sufficient policies being implemented. The three countries' analysis shows the implementation of a migration management approach that has mutated (each time there are migratory stampedes) towards restrictive approaches of security and control.
