  • Venezuelan Forced Migrants and Refugees in Brazil and Ecuador: Security Issues and Social Provision during the COVID‐19 Pandemic
    Andrea P. Pacifico, Johnatan Da Costa Santos, and F.L. Silva Silva
    Peoples' Friendship University of Russia
    The worsening economic and social crisis in Venezuela has led to a massive flow of Venezuelan migrants to neighbouring Latin American countries. The influx of forced migrants from Venezuela has challenged the regional security of Latin American countries, which were already experiencing structural and social problems. Brazil and Ecuador, where a significant number of Venezuelan nationals arrived, faced great obstacles in providing the arriving migrants with access to health care and education for their children, jobs, while at the same time meeting the needs and social problems of the local population. After the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, social problems such as health, education, job access, security, and governance have proven to be the most challenging in the region. However, as the pandemic situation showed, regional leaders were negligent in their response to the disease and refused to cooperate in addressing the problem, with dire consequences. This article analyses the impact of the Brazilian and Ecuadorian immigration laws and asylum policy on the protection of Venezuelans’ forced migrants and refugees who entered Brazil and Ecuador before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a regional security issue, the protection of Venezuelans is the basis for regional stability, which can only be achieved through cross-issue persuasion. The article, therefore, concludes that Brazil and Ecuador, after having created rules and implemented public policies before and after the pandemic, in cooperation or not with diverse international and national actors, to host and integrate Venezuelan citizens in both countries, have followed their commitment in accordance with previously adopted international and regional agreements, and domestic laws.

  • The refugees' reception in the European Union due to the securitization of migration in the region

    Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Minas Gerais
    O artigo trata do acolhimento dos refugiados na União Europeia, e possui como principal objetivo analisar esse acolhimento, considerando a securitização da migração como um empecilho para a proteção dos refugiados. Para conduzir a discussão sobre a temática, busca-se examinar a discussão política sobre as migrações forçadas na União Europeia, tendo como foco os refugiados e utilizando-se do exemplo da Itália. Além disso, outros objetivos subjacentes ao principal intento desta investigação buscam apresentar a importância da integração institucional e humanitária dos refugiados no local de acolhimento e, por fim, identificar soluções a fim de melhorar o acolhimento dos refugiados nos países da União Europeia. Observa-se que os Estados se eximem da sua responsabilidade enquanto importantes atores para a proteção desses migrantes forçados. Portanto, é necessário refletir sobre as medidas que contribuam para uma maior cooperação dos Estados, em vez de reforçar a securitização da migração local.

  • O terrorismo islâmico e a política estadunidense de reassentamento de refugiados sírios
    Igor Henriques Sabino de Farias, Alexandre Cesar Cunha Leite, and Andrea Maria Calazans Pacheco Pacífico
    Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul
    This article addresses the refusal of US policy, between 2016 and 2017, to resettle Syrian refugees from the Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011 and has forced millions of Syrians to migrate to neighboring countries or to the West. Thus, the hypothesis defended is that the terrorist attacks by Islamic radicals in the US contributed to the increase of prejudice and generalization regarding Arabs and Muslims and, therefore, the Syrian refugees would be conceived as probable threats to the national security. In order to verify this, we present a bibliographical review confirmed by some secondary descriptive data on the perception of the American society on the Syrian and Muslim refugees. The work of Said (1993) on Orientalism, as well as the writings of Huntington (1993, 1997) on the Clash of Civilizations, are used as theoretical reference. Finally, it is concluded that the US refusal to resettle Syrian refugees is mainly due to traumas related to Arabs and Muslims, as well as national security concerns, albeit unfounded.



  • A network society communicative model for optimizing the refugee status determination (RSD) procedures
    Andrea Pacheco Pacífico
    FapUNIFESP (SciELO)
    This article recommends a new way to improve Refugee Status Determination (RSD) procedures by proposing a network society communicative model based on active involvement and dialogue among all implementing partners. This model, named after proposals from Castells, Habermas, Apel, Chimni, and Betts, would be mediated by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), whose role would be modeled after that of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) practice.
