FRONTIERS AND HUMAN MOBILITY: IS IT A QUESTION OF IMPERIALIST DOMINATION?

Abstract

The frontiers are presented to capital as an integration expression and to the migrant, as a limit. It deals, in fact, of various types of limits, and these are marked by new forms of exploitation and exclusion, resulting from imperialist relations in capital expansion politics. The text, now summarized here, presents as main objective to understand human mobility in contemporary society, mobility delineated by the production process flexibility at the global level in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. The study methodology is based on literature followed by theoretical-conceptual review. It applies, as a category of analysis, the concept firmed in respect of the mobility, imperialism and frontier terms. This study evidences frontiers to which the migrant is exposed during the crossing route to achieve the political frontier of the destination country, and created by legal challenges, it shows two conditions: the second-class citizen and the noncitizen in the process of human mobility as a strategy of imperialist relations for the capital reproduction.
