This essay provides a concise review and statistical analysis of Mahjar studies in Latin
America, tracing its evolution from historical and anthropological foundations to its
growing engagement with International Relations (IR) in MENA–Latin America
interactions. It examines key theoretical contributions (2000–2023) that have shaped
this multidisciplinary field, particularly its integration with diaspora studies. The study
highlights Latin America’s role in global migration scholarship and the significance of
IR perspectives in understanding contemporary South-South relations. Finally, the essay
offers reflections on key countries and leading scholars contributing to the advancement of
this field, providing insights into its future directions and potential for further academic
development.
