Crise, reestruturação produtiva e migração

In this paper, I examine the shifts in international migration patterns since the early 21st century, focusing on the movement of Haitians to Brazil, particularly to the state of Paraná, between 2010 and 2018. I analyze the role of the Brazilian state in this process, questioning whether its actions and mechanisms contributed to Brazil becoming a migration destination during this period. I explore the relationship between contemporary capitalist crises, productive restructuring, and migration, highlighting how changes in regulatory frameworks convert economic difficulties into opportunities to deepen neoliberal policies, influencing the volume of migration flows and shifts in migratory patterns. I demonstrate how this process was realized and argue that specific modifications to regulatory frameworks and geopolitical actions, both facilitated productive restructuring and enabled the attraction of Haitian migrants to Brazil. Their integration into the workforce served as a means to reduce production costs through wage suppression.
