Since the 1950s, international migration in Latin America has been transformed from immigration from extra-regional sources, to migration among countries within Latin America itself. While this shift has been noted in the literature, its systematic study remains in its infancy. This paper provides an overview of the literature dealing with international migration in Latin America, and it addresses problems with transit and census data for the region. In addition, the main themes of the other papers of this issue are introduced and several lines of needed research are suggested.

Based on interviews with local political leaders in Ukraine in late 1991, it appears that local governments have taken only a small step toward a new democratic social order. This is particularly true of the leaders' values concerning popular participation & social conflicts. One reason for this ambivalence is the fact that the powers of local governments are very limited as well as ambiguous, & that competing political elites have yet to be formed into political parties. Nonetheless, a legal framework has been established for local self-government, & there are indications that some elements of democratic views & practices are taking hold. 1 Table.

Given the context of alternation of political groups closer to the extreme right in Latin American countries in the last national elections, the objective of this article is to assess political attitudes of citizens and their relationship with changes in the political regime that allow us to identify the level of the "reservoir of political legitimacy" and commitment to democracy in this region. This analysis is done through empirical measures of the Latinobarómetro. The study revealed at least two impasses of Latin American democracies: first, the reservoir of commitment to the political regime is very low, demonstrated by the low support of societies for democracy and their institutional structure; second, democratic legitimacy is becoming less effective, as there are high rates of dissatisfaction and distrust with the performance of both the political regime and the performance of the traditional political class. ; Ante el contexto de la alternancia de grupos políticos más próximos a la extrema derecha en países de América Latina en las últimas elecciones nacionales, el objetivo de este artículo es evaluar algunas actitudes políticas de los ciudadanos y su relación con los cambios en el régimen político que permitan identificar cuál es el nivel la "reserva de legitimidad política" y de compromiso con la democracia en esta región. Para ello, el análisis es realizado mediante medidas empíricas informadas por el instituto de investigación Latinobarómetro. Se han revelado al menos dos impases de las democracias latinoamericanas: primero, la reserva de compromiso con el régimen es pequeña, demostrado por el bajo apoyo de las sociedades a la democracia y a su estructura institucional; segundo, es cada vez menos efectiva la legitimidad democrática, lo que es demostrado por las elevadas tasas de insatisfacción y desconfianza tanto con el desempeño del régimen como con la actuación de la clase política tradicional.
