Abstract

International migration has been considered a problem to be solved by national states\' national migration policies. The study aims at revealing the political aspects arising as a result of policy development around the concept of migration irregularity and of the changes arising on the transnational dynamics of migration associated with the immigrants` subjectivity as a political practice of citizenship transformation. The analysis has shown that the migration management discourse coming from the international organizations proves to be insufficient to any transformation due its technocratic features. In Brazil, even though the prevailing migratory policy discourse is based on human rights, policy implementation has yet to take place. Through interviews with Brazilian governmental actors it was intended to further the analysis on this directive due to the meaningful changes it requires. Conclusion reveal that the South American citizenship built upon the implementation of the Mercosur Residency Agreement presents some features of citizenship grounded on the mobility paradigm. (AU)
