The issue begins with an article by Guilherme Silva Pires de Freitas, who explores the progress made in Brazilian legislation on migration, with emphasis on the situation after the military dictatorship. Denisse Martinez Perez then discusses in her article the links between violence and development, arguing that the latter triggers high levels of violence when it is conceived as a capitalist project. In his essay, Ignacio García Solano reflects on the inconsistencies of the neoliberal model developed in Mexico. Adrián Francisco Rivera Flores discusses the effects that the neoliberal model has had on the State and on political and social identities. Next, Mateo Rojas Samper analyzes the environmental policies implemented by the Colombian government. Finally, Renáta Ryoko Drávucz presents a review of the book “Beef, Bible and bullets: Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro” by Richard Lapper.
