Abstract

The internal territorial dynamics, and the international projection of Brazil and Portugal, affect directly and indirectly the population flows that historically make up their relations, causing them to expand or contract and even change course direction. In this matter, the configuration of migration flows between these two countries reflects the transformation in the international order and its impacts on their internal organizations. These changes articulate complex facts such as the financial crisis on the United States and Europe, and economic growth of emerging countries; the current contradictions between the current U.S. unilaterism from the attacks of September eleventh, and the process of multilateralism and cooperation that have developed in the 1990s;the reduction of social inequality in Brazil and the process of dismantling the welfare state in Portugal, amongst other events observed specifically from the year 2000. To examine these changes and relate them to reconfigurations, ruptures and continuities of these population movements, to understand its real meaning and consequences, pointing towards new patterns are the proposal of this work.
