Inmigración y dinámicas territoriales en España: crisis y recuperación (2008-2017)

Abstract

espanolLas recientes migraciones en Espana se han interpretado a la luz de la crisis (reduccion de la inmigracion, retorno al pais/region de origen y reemigracion) y de la incipiente recuperacion economica (retorno a Espana y reanudacion de la inmigracion). A este analisis se ha de incorporar la perspectiva territorial, objeto de este articulo, pues la inmigracion –que habia contribuido a infundir dinamismo en las metropolis difusas y en ciertos espacios rurales– se ve alterada a partir de 2008. En el ambito metropolitano, las areas periurbanas se tornan expulsoras y merman su capacidad de atraccion. Al mismo tiempo, disminuyen los flujos que habian contribuido a la timida recuperacion demografica de determinados municipios rurales. En suma, se producen importantes transformaciones territoriales que, a su vez, se modifican durante la actual recuperacioneconomica. EnglishRecent migrations in Spain have been seen in the light of the crisis (lower immigration, return to country/region of origin and remigration) and of incipient economic recovery (return to Spain and resumption of immigration). A territorial perspective must be added to this analysis and is the subject of this paper, because immigration – which had helped bring dynamism to various metropolises and certain rural spaces – was altered as of 2008. At the metropolitan level, peri-urban areas become places of expulsion and lose their capacity to attract. At the same time, the flows that had contributed to the tentative demographic recovery of certain rural municipalities decrease. In sum, major territorial transformations resulted that have, in turn, changed during the present economic recovery. >> The full text articles of this issue are available only in Spanish language
