Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to propose a route of orientation to further our understanding about international migratory mobility in the discussions surrounding the 2030 development agenda. First, the link between migration flows and the development agenda shall be addressed, followed by migratory mobility during the period of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This section presents key international initiatives to bring the issue of migration into discussions on development, despite the fact that it did not form part of the MDGs. Then, the issue of migration and process of designing the 2030 Agenda will be discussed, as well as Mexico’s contributions and reactions to this new agenda with a view to migration issues. Finally, this chapter also aims to present some proposals for a new migration policy, and in doing so, contribute to the debate surrounding this issue that carries such importance for Mexico.
