Constitutional elements for a processes-based logic related to climatic migrations in countries of the Andean Community of Nations

Abstract

ABSTRACT The states of the Andean Community of Nations (ACN) have made collective commitments to reform their institutional and regulatory systems for risk and disaster management, from the perspective of processes and the ‘risk continuum’, is proposed by experts as a more convenient alternative to mainstreaming. This vision is consistent with IOM’s recent approach to forced migration as a result of climate ‘processes’. However, ACN is not a homogeneous regional bloc and the national constitutions of the countries that compose it, some of them completely renewed a few years ago, can become so descriptive that they inhibit the structuring of a formulation with such characteristics. This article presents an analytical-descriptive exploration of the capacity of the national constitutions of the four ACN countries to host a disaster risk management model that embraces climate migration in terms of processes.The methodological-legal approach is exploratory-descriptive, using the deductive, systemic and exegetical method, to offer an empirical-normative approach.
