MABEL ZANG, Laura  and  FANTIN, María Alejandra. The Swiss Immigration to Misiones-Argentina (1935-1939): An Analysis Based on Migration Theories. Migr. Inter [online]. 2020, vol.11, e1837.  Epub Feb 17, 2021. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.1837.

This article addresses the phenomenon of Swiss immigration to the National Territory of Misiones, Argentina, between 1935 and 1939. From an analysis based on different migration theories, we identify the structural factors that led to the mobility of people of that origin and the influence of social networks as a strategic value in the consolidation of links between migrants in the process of adapting to the new environment. The analysis of qualitative sources will reveal the reasons that led them to make the decision to emigrate, the prevailing immigration policies at every moment, and the need to adapt to an entirely new environment.

Keywords : migration theories; social networks; immigration; Puerto Rico; Misiones; Argentina.
