A política migratória brasileira: as migrações no governo Bolsonaro

Abstract

This work addresses migration policy, especially during the government of Jair Bolsonaro. The main goal of the study was to undertake an analysis of the consolidation of brazilian migration policy until the implementation of such matter in bolsonaro's term. The hypothesis is that during Bolsonaro’s term there has been a return to the securitization paradigm in migration policy. For this purpose, it seeks, theoretically through Foreign Policy Analysis, to substantiate the role of migration policy as a foreign policy; from the analysis of Brazil's migration policy from Cardoso to Temer’s term. An exploratory investigation based on a collection of primary and secondary sources was carried out, in order to have a pattern that could perform the analysis of bolsonaro's migration policy. The study parcially confirms the hypothesis, once there has been na attempt of return of the security paradigm and several official actions in regard of migration contradicted the Brazilian legal framework.
