Políticas de vinculación del Estado uruguayo e inmigración uruguaya en Argentina

Abstract

This article examines the Uruguayan State’s entailment migratory policies with their emigrated population and the implications for the Uruguayan associations in Argentina. The paper examines the transnational perspectives in the study of the international migrations that redefined the understanding of the integration processes in a migration context, as well as social anthropology methodology and techniques-based ethnographic work conducted from 2005 to 2011. To tackle the process of institutionalization of the State-migrated population entailment the article considers, on the one hand, the program Departamento 20 – La patria peregrina, that was part of a series of policies oriented to incorporate the migratory problematic into the Uruguayan State public agenda. On the other hand, it analyzes this process from the point of view of the migrants themselves, in this case the Uruguayan community in Buenos Aires, reorganized like an Advisory Council by application of the immigration policy for their entailment with the State of origin.
