PALAZUELOS MANSO, Antonio  y  VILLARREAL VILLAMAR, María del Carmen. Más allá de las remesas: Transformaciones socioeconómicas y proyectos de migración y desarrollo en Ecuador. Migr. desarro [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.21, pp.107-132. ISSN 1870-7599.

The mainstream view on the nexus between migration and development considers migration as a process able to generate and reinforce development dynamics in the migrants' origin backgrounds. However, the empirical evidence shows that government initiatives linking migration and development could only be effective if they come together with socioeconomic transformations that would allow taking advantage of their beneficiaries' knowledge and goods. Regardless of the migrants' cooperation modalities, the government's intention should correspond with reforms of social and economic nature that would enable their participation in the achievement of the state's development goals. Starting from this assumption, this paper aims to contrast the goals and programmes of the ecuadorian migration policies with the socioeconomic transformations taking place in the country.
