International Emigration and linking policies: a comparative analysis between Argentine and Uruguay
Abstract
This article presents a comparative study of policies towards international emigration in Argentina and Uruguay. In each of them international emigration deserves unequal relevance in the political agenda and, therefore, in the actions implemented in terms of linking emigrated populations to homeland. The study focuses on two instruments, “Province 25” in Argentina, and “Department 20” in Uruguay, with emphasis on actions taken by both countries in recent times, and in the context of the problem that international migration represents for them.
