In this paper, a new paradigm from International Relations: the world-ecology is proposed to explain the phenomenon of international migration, which is based on the concept of world-in-motion.
Abstract
A lo largo del siglo XX y comienzos del XXI la comunidad academica ha desarrollado numerosas teorias para explicar el fenomeno de las migraciones internacionales, tal como Massey et al. (1998) recogieron en su famoso libro “Worlds in motion”. Sin embargo, una mayoria de estudios producidos en este campo se han referido principalmente a casos empiricos recurriendo al uso de los principales paradigmas cuyas explicaciones de la realidad han tendido a reiterarse. Rompiendo con esta tendencia, en los ultimos anos han ido desarrollandose nuevos enfoques, cuyo caracter interdisciplinar ha permitido llevar a cabo estudios novedosos que han aportado respuestas diferentes a los interrogantes mas clasicos acerca de las migraciones internacionales. Esta investigacion pretende contribuir a dicha tendencia presentando un nuevo paradigma proveniente de las Relaciones Internacionales: la ecologia-mundo. Situando las relaciones socio-ecologicas como epicentro del desarrollo del capitalismo global, el paradigma creado por Jason W. Moore permitira no solo llevar cabo novedosas investigaciones de los fenomenos sociales y politicos, sino que abrira una nueva ventana teorica para conectar sus postulados con una infinidad de areas de estudio. En base a su perspectiva holistica, historica y transnacional, la ecologia-mundo se ofrece como un nuevo paradigma idoneo para explicar fenomenos globales tan diversos como el cambio climatico, la crisis economica o la movilidad humana. Gracias a sus multiples herramientas teoricas, el paradigma aqui presentado ofrece una infinidad de posibilidades para el desarrollo de estudios criticos que expliquen las migraciones humanas desde prismas hasta ahora inexplorados. El objetivo de este articulo por lo tanto sera doble. En primer lugar, se perseguira caracterizar la ecologia-mundo definiendo sus raices teoricas y sus principales planteamientos analiticos con el objetivo de dar a conocer una propuesta hasta ahora largamente desconocida en el mundo hispanoparlante. En segundo lugar, se buscara resaltar las principales contribuciones que los constructos teoricos del paradigma ofrecen para el estudio de las migraciones. Throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the academic community has developed numerous theories to explain the phenomenon of international migration, as Massey et al. (1998) collected in his famous book "Worlds in motion". However, a majority of studies produced in this field have referred mainly to empirical cases resorting to the use of the main paradigms whose explanations of reality have tended to be reiterated. Breaking with this trend, in recent years, new approaches have been developed, whose interdisciplinary character has allowed to carry out innovative studies that have provided different answers to the most classic questions about international migrations. This research aims to contribute to this trend by presenting a new paradigm from International Relations: the world-ecology. Placing socio-ecological relations as the epicenter of the development of global capitalism, the paradigm created by Jason W. Moore will allow not only to carry out novel investigations of social and political phenomena, but will also open a new theoretical window to connect his postulates with an infinity of study areas. Based on its holistic, historical and transnational perspective, world-ecology offers a new paradigm suitable to explain diverse global phenomena such as climate change, economic crisis or human mobility. Thanks to its multiple theoretical tools, the paradigm presented here offers an infinity of possibilities for the development of critical studies that explain human migrations from prisms until now unexplored. The objective of this article will therefore be twofold. Firstly, it will define the world-ecology paradigm by identifying its theoretical roots and its main analytical approaches. Secondly, it will seek to highlight the main contributions that the theoretical constructs of the paradigm offer for the study of migrations.
