Resumen
This is the first time in the magazine that we have addressed the issue of international mobility in relation to settlement processes and the establishment of emerging territorial configurations. The editors invited to assume the coordination of this thematic section were John Harold Cór-doba (National Pedagogical University, Colombia) and Naïk Miret (University of Poitiers, France), both geographers who are experts in international mobility issues. The two researchers suggest that the Questions about the territorial transformations related to international mobility and its reconfigurations are positioned within the theoretical framework of transnational migratory fields or in that of the effects of transnationalism. This framework has had important contributions to understanding the relationship established, for example, in migration between the United States and the Dominican Republic (Portes, Guarnizo & Landolt, 2003) or in the case of the paradigm of migratory circulations that developed to understand the “common destiny” in which the regions of origin and destination of foreign workers in France were located (Ma Mung et al., 1998; Lessault & Berthomière, 2019). In this approach, the knowledge and anchors of the members of a migratory group are considered as a social capital of the actors for mobility.
