Diplomacy and Migration in Relations between Mexico and the Andean Community of Nations (2014-2024)

Abstract

Migration in the Andean region has significantly increased over the past two decades, with diversified flows and new routes. This phenomenon has politicized national and international agendas. Migration studies are divided between the relationship with public policies and the discourses between migrants and States. The United States remains a key destination, influencing diplomatic relations with Mexico and the Southern Cone. Diplomacy plays a crucial role in migration management, highlighting four approaches: national security, human rights, development in countries of origin, and ties with migrants. Migration has been shaped by economic, political, and social factors, requiring inclusive policies and international cooperation to ensure migrants' human rights.
