Summary: The migration and development debate has traditionally been focused on the Global South, constructing a rigid division between a "developed Global North" and an "underdeveloped Global South". This article seeks to challenge this binary by situating the migration and development debate within the Global North. We argue that maintaining this North-South divide overlooks the effects of global capitalism in the North, where uneven development and intra-regional migration are also prevalent. By examining the processes of reterritorialization and neoliberal restructuring, this article highlights how migration flows within the European Union (EU), are expressions of unequal development across its member states. Through a quantitative analysis of economic indicators and the dynamics of migration flows, this article exposes the contradictions within global capitalism and makes the case for embedding the migration-development nexus within the Global North. The discussion emphasises the urgent need for critical research that investigates the impact of migration on development at both national and regional levels within the EU.

Este artículo busca desafiar esta dicotomía situando el debate sobre migración y desarrollo dentro del Norte Global. Argumentamos que mantener esta división Norte-Sur pasa por alto los efectos del capitalismo global en el Norte, donde el desarrollo desigual y la migración intrarregional también son prevalentes. Al examinar los procesos de reterritorialización y reestructuración neoliberal, se destaca cómo los flujos migratorios dentro de la Unió n Europea (UE) son expresiones del desarrollo desigual entre sus estados miembros. A través de un análisis cuantitativo de indicadores económicos y las dinámicas de los flujos migratorios, el artículo expone las contradicciones dentro del capitalismo global y defiende la necesidad de integrar el nexo migración-desarrollo en el Norte Global. La discusión enfatiza la urgente necesidad de investigación crítica que examine el impacto de la migración en el desarrollo tanto a nivel nacional como regional dentro de la UE.    O debate sobre migrações e desenvolvimento tem-se centrado no Sul Global, sustentando uma divisão rígida entre um "Norte Global desenvolvido" e um "Sul Global subdesenvolvido." Este artigo questiona esta dicotomia alargando a discussão ao Norte Global. Argumenta-se que a manutenção da divisão Norte-Sul ignora os efeitos do capitalismo global no Norte, onde o desenvolvimento desigual e as migrações intra-regionais também são fenómenos recorrentes. Ao examinar os processos de reterritorialização e reestruturação neoliberal, particularmente dentro da União Europeia (UE), evidencia-se como os fluxos migratórios dentro da UE são expressões do desenvolvimento desigual entre os seus estados-membros. Com base na análise de indicadores económicos e da dinâmica dos fluxos migratórios, apresentam-se as contradições do capitalismo global e defende-se a inclusão do Norte no debate sobre o nexo migrações-desenvolvimento. A discussão enfatiza a necessidade urgente de investigação crítica que explore os efeitos das migrações no desenvolvimento, tanto ao nível nacional como regional, dentro da UE.Centro de Estudos Geográficos2024-12-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.18055/Finis35692eng2182-29050430-5027Pinto da Silva e Conceição Santos, Maria TeresaFonseca, Maria LucindaMacaísta Malheiros, Jorgeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-01-09T07:46:18Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/35692Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T19:36:35.677543Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
