“…This 'intellectual' lag was the consequence of the "lost decade", i. e. the dictatorships that were flourishing in most Latin American countries in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, forcing a great number of scholars into exile and hindering the evolution of analytical and critical social sciences throughout Latin America. [Devlin -Ffrench-Davis, 1995;Urquidi, 2005] Hein de Haas [2008, p. 2] in his overview of the global narratives of the migration-development nexus displays a simple table on how these scholarly narratives have been changing over time, which I completed with the relevant additional notes on Latin American historical and intellectual background. The migration-development nexus as a research area in the Latin American context can be summarized, from a historical point of view, as follows: Haas [2008, p.2.…”

“…Macroeconomic shocks like the 1982 Mexican "Tequila crisis", the Argentinean recession in the late 1980s or the "Fujishock" in Peru in 1990 definitely contributed to the growth of these gaps, but these events were already preceded by long periods of stagnation. [Devlin -Ffrench-Davis, 1995;Urquidi, 2005] In other words, most of the Latin American economies had 'stuck in time', while the United States and Southwest Europe experienced a period of dynamic growth. This helps to explain the sudden nature of emigration waves from many Latin American countries in the 1990s (see more details below).…”

“…In the 1980s Latin America submerged into an acute debt crisis that paralyzed many economies. [Devlin -Ffrench-Davis, 1995;Urquidi, 2005] The economic policy answer to these problems was a series of structural adjustments. Structural adjustment is a common denomination for different measures echoing the neoliberal reform agenda of the late 1980s and summarized most prominently in John Williamson's article on the "Washington Consensus".…”

“…Drastic reforms were implemented in Mexico in 1988, in Argentina and Venezuela in 1989, and in Peru and Brazil in 1990. [Urquidi, 2005 Some of these reforms were extremely brutal, such as the "Fujishock" in Peru, while others, although smoother at the beginning, had very long-lasting structural consequences, the most well-known being Mexico's joining to the NAFTA in 1994.…”
