GOIS, Pedro. Networks, interconnections and migratory systems in an Atlantic and European Portugal. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2022, n.75, pp.87-105.  Epub Sep 30, 2022. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2022.75a06.

In this article we will justify how the characteristics of Portugal, a country of emigration and a country of immigration, result from its structural insertion at the intersection between different migratory systems: the European migratory system (in which the freedom of movement of products, services and people is the foundation of the potential of migratory circulation) and the lusophone migratory system (a post-colonial political system made up of cultural, economic and political complicities that are still being consolidated). In addition to belonging to these early migratory systems, the growing importance of a global migratory system helps to contextualize migrations from (and to) Portugal, the type and profile of migrants and furthermore to explain the social structure of Portuguese emigration and immigration in Portugal.

Keywords : immigrants; emigrants; migration systems; social structure of contemporary migrations.
