RIGHT TO MIGRATION AND THE COLONIAL MODERN FUNCTION OF BORDER CONTROL

Abstract

One of the most sensitive fields to globalization is that of the boundaries between States, which are increasingly accessible to migration, but also increasingly controversial over entry and exit control. Therefore, the concepts migration and sovereignty are often opposed, with different perspectives, however there is an underlying constant in such debates: the colonial function fulfilled by international borders and the control of migration, based on theoretical production, that spreads, in more or less subtle ways, the eurocentric paradigms. Such perception gives rise to the need to seek decolonial contributions to deepen the understanding of the apparent paradox between migration and sovereignty. Therefore, it is proposed to adopt a deductive approach method, seeking a interdisciplinary dialogue between decolonial theories and theoretical contributions on the migrations subject. In this way, it is intended to demonstrate some colonial limits and perhaps possible contributions to rethink the relationship between migration, international borders and sovereignty.
