Abstract

This article explores recent Brazilian legislative developments on migration as a continuous struggle between opposing views: one emphasizing migration as a matter of national security and another considering migration a human right and the laws related to this right as instruments for the integration of migrant populations. Between these two opposing views are many intermediate positions, but it is possible to focus on them as driving forces in the legislative debate. This article demonstrates that the most recent Brazilian migration law, perceived by many as modern and based on the human rights concept, is a mere moment in this struggle. We posit that there has recently been a growing hegemony of securitarian forces in the production of policies regarding migration in Brazil. Resumo Este artigo explora os recentes desenvolvimentos legislativos brasileiros sobre a migracao como uma luta continua entre visoes opostas: uma enfatizando a migracao como uma questao de seguranca nacional e outra vendo a migracao como um direito humano e as leis relacionadas a esse direito como instrumentos para a integracao das populacoes migrantes. Entre essas duas visoes opostas estao muitas posicoes intermediarias, mas e possivel focar nessas visoes como forcas motrizes no debate legislativo. Este artigo demonstra que a mais recente lei migratoria brasileira, vista por muitos como moderna e baseada no conceito de direitos humanos, e apenas um momento nessa luta. Indicamos que recentemente vem ocorrendo uma crescente hegemonia das forcas securitarias na producao de politicas relativas a migracao no Brasil.

证券化(再)转向:巴西新移民法分析(2016-2019)

这篇文章探讨了巴西最近关于移民的立法发展，认为这是对立观点之间的持续斗争：一种观点强调移民是国家安全问题，另一种观点认为移民是一项人权，与这项权利有关的法律是移民人口融合的工具。在这两种对立的观点之间有许多中间立场，但在立法辩论中，可以将其作为驱动力。这篇文章表明，被许多人视为现代的、基于人权概念的巴西最新移民法只是这场斗争中的一个时刻。我们认为，最近在巴西制定移民政策的过程中，安全力量的霸权日益增强。这篇文章探讨了巴西最近关于移民的立法发展，认为这是对立观点之间的持续斗争：一种观点强调移民是国家安全问题，另一种观点认为移民是一项人权，与这项权利有关的法律是移民人口融合的工具。在这两种对立的观点之间有许多中间立场，但在立法辩论中，可以将这些观点作为驱动力。这篇文章表明，被许多人视为现代的、基于人权概念的巴西最新移民法只是这场斗争中的一个时刻。我们指出，最近，在制定与巴西移民有关的政策方面，安全部队的霸权日益增强。
