A emigração portuguesa para o Brasil e a geo-estratégia do desenvolvimento euro-americano

Abstract

Many local and regional studies have contributed these last years to bring about a more complete understanding of different questions not covered by national sources. Yet another dimension should be considered. Migration movements are integrated in a global process and their interactions are not yet well known. This global dimension is often forgotten as well as their insertion in the geo-strategy of intercontinental development. In this context, duly analyzed in this text, three main questions are set forth: the reason of the chronology of emigration towards the Americas, the dominance of European origin and the emigration networks.
