description | The central aim of this article is to study the economic and social processes and the existing connections among regionalism, productive restructuring, and labor force mobility across borders. The article is divided into three parts. In the first section, we discuss the linkage between capitalist accumulation, economic cycles, and labor force mobility. In the second, we analyze theNorth America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the migratory flux from Mexico to the United States. Finally, we outline a critical view of how the interests of big capital prevail over worker interests, considering aspects such as labor mobility and the civil, political, social and economic rights of workers. |

O objetivo central do presente artigo é estudar os processos econômicos globais e as conexões existentes entre regionalização, reestruturação produtiva e mobilidade da força de trabalho. Para isto, dividimos o texto em três partes: na primeira, discutimos as ligações entre acumulação capitalista, ciclos econômicos e espacialização da força de trabalho; na segunda, passamos a uma análise do Tratado de Livre-Comércio da América do Norte (TLCAN) e a migração México-Estados Unidos; por fim, fazemos um balanço crítico de como os interesses do grande capital prevalecem aos interesses dos trabalhadores em relação a sua mobilidade espacial e seus direitos civis, políticos, sociais e econômicos. 2006-06-19 2022-03-17T18:04:24Z 2022-03-17T18:04:24Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/18824 10.23925/ls.v0i15/16.18824 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/50002 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/18824/13998 application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Lutas Sociais; n. 15/16 (2006): Governo Lula em questão; 65-77 2526-3706 1415-854X 10.23925/ls.v0i15/16 |
