Mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as to Europe and North America is the main topic of this conference. What sorts of chains and networks emerge in the circulation of people, commodities and policies across Latin America? How does the distinction between legality and illegality affect these flows? Does the nation really matter when it comes to their functioning and control? What are the policies governments implement at national and international level to regulate mobility? What are the implications of these flows for the livelihoods of Latin Americans?
