CANTERBURY, Dennis C.. Repensando el debate sobre migración y desarrollo bajo el capitalismo neoliberal. Migr. desarro [online]. 2010, vol.8, n.15, pp.5-48. ISSN 1870-7599.
Neoliberal migration theory focuses on the development impact of migration in both labor sending and receiving countries. It regards migration as an integral component of a continuous process of capitalist development, and not as a phenomenon to be analyzed separately, the mistake of hitherto studies on the relationship between the two concepts. It represents development as capitalist rather than alternative development, and fails to recognize the class dynamics in the development impact of migration - the principal concern of this historical-structural essay. The alternative position is taken that the direction and flow of migration are determined by global flows of capital, currently supported by super-structural arrangements involving a complex of international institutions, academics, research programs, reports, policy prescriptions, and policy makers that promote the unhindered flows of capital and managed migration in furtherance of the imperialist-centered model of accumulation. The neoliberal focus on migration and development maintains class inequality in society.
