Política Externa Migratória do Brasil: a política imigratória brasileira

Abstract

This article presents Brazil’s Foreign Policy for Migration (PEXMB). Emerged in a context of the assertiveness of the Brazilian Foreign Policy (PEB), in the period from 2003 to 2016, where approximately 2.1 million immigrants and refugee seekers arrived in the country, the PEXMB is shaped as the immigration policy of Brazil, depending on the PEB and the agendas of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We will analyse how this concept arose from Brazil’s strategic insertion axes in two specific regions: Latin America and Africa. The results show that it was supported by pillars such as Brazilian participation in humanitarian missions, the granting of scholarships and fellowships for foreigners, the creation of a humanitarian visa, the issuance and exemption of visas for major sporting events, the discussion and approval of the new Migration Law and the subsidized immigration through the Mais Médicos Programme, all in a short period, which we will call the hyper-dynamization of migrations.
