| Abstract | Several Mexican state governments have created institutions and developed public policies to benefit their emigrants abroad following the federal government’s lead. The main objective of this article is two-fold: first, to analyze the three sociopolitical factors that influenced the emergence of emigration policy at the state level, and second, to examine two strategic activities undertaken by state governments in the Central Western region. Public agencies for international migrants carry out various actions such as administering federal government programs, preserving regional identities, promoting human and civil rights for migrants, locating missing persons, and processing official documents. Many of these activities are complementary to those undertaken by federal government. However, some of these agencies play a strategic role in the repatriation of the bodies of Mexican migrants that die in the United States and the management of temporary employment abroad for their citizens. Politica de emigracion y gobiernos estatales en Mexico Resumen Varios gobiernos estatales en Mexico han creado instituciones y desarrollado politicas publicas para beneficiar a sus emigrantes en el extranjero, siguiendo el ejemplo del gobierno federal. El objetivo principal de este articulo tiene dos vertientes: primero, analizar los tres factores sociopoliticos que influyeron en el surgimiento de la politica de emigracion a nivel estatal y, en segundo lugar, examinar dos actividades estrategicas llevadas a cabo por gobiernos estatales en la region centro-occidente. Las agencias publicas para migrantes internacionales llevan a cabo diversas acciones tales como la administracion de programas federales, la preservacion de las identidades regionales, la promocion de los derechos humanos y civiles de los migrantes, la localizacion de personas perdidas y el tramite de documentos oficiales. Muchas de estas actividades son complementarias a las que realiza el gobierno federal; sin embargo, algunas de estas agencias tienen un papel estrategico en la repatriacion de los restos de los migrantes mexicanos que mueren en Estados Unidos y en la gestion del empleo temporal para sus ciudadanos en el exterior. |
