VERDUGO MATES, Rosa María. Spanish migration policy and the Spanish economic interests abroad. Pap. poblac [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.93, pp.127-150. ISSN 2448-7147.  https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2017.93.024.

In the 1990s Spain emerged as an immigration country, becoming in 2008 the second country with the highest number of foreigners in the 15-member European Union. The increasing importance of Spain as the destination for international migrations was used by the Spanish government to design a migration policy that favoured the internationalization of Spanish companies. During the period 2000-2005, the migration policy facilitated the entrance of Latin Americans to the Spanish territory and, simultaneously, the entrance of Spanish Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America. Subsequently, since 2006, the migration policy focused on the externalisation of the control of migration flows through the signature of migration agreements with different African countries where the Official Development Assistance was increased.
