In the last two decades, Brazil has observed a hyperdynamic migratory movement, mainly linked to the country's internal conditions, especially in the economic, political and social fields, as well as to the normative and legal apparatus, which has undergone transformations. These transformations, which we will call ruptures and continuities, were led by a policy agenda – known as migration foreign policy – and by the
debate and promulgation of the new Migration Law. From the reading of this context, therefore, the present article will analyse these transformations, based on international migratory chains and networks, and will discuss the institutional perspectives of the Brazilian State and its last governments, in the face of the emergence of a new migratory type: the perspective migrations. This paper, originated from the field of
International Relations, aims to bring the reading of Law and Political Sciences to the issue of migration in the Brazilian context.
