La complementariedad teórica como estrategia para analizar fenómenos dinámicos: el caso de la migración centroamericana a México 1 Theoretical complementarity as a strategy for the analysis of dynamical phenomenon: the case of Central American migration to Mexico

Resumen

This research note aims to develop a theoretical-analytical proposal for the migratory flow from the 'North Triangle' of Central Ameri - ca -Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador- to Mexico. The aim is to explain the changes that place Mexico as a 'new' destination, with its new characteristics different from the previous stages. This document departs from the dynamic concep- tion of the migratory phenomenon, and a 'proces- sual' analysis based on theoretical and empirical complementarity is proposed, paying special at- tention on the new conditions that shape to this migratory 'reality'. It is intended on stress on ele- ments and actors from a multilevel perspective, based on their interrelations in three levels: ma- cro, meso and micro.
