- Abstract
The irregular migration of Venezuelan citizens to countries in the hemisphere has increased exponentially in recent years, taking on connotations of foreign policy and international security. To a large extent, it is necessary to approach irregular migration flows based on broad concepts of security and extractivism. This involves understanding humans as a new commodity that is extracted and exported by transnational criminal organizations, which increase their illicit gains by exploiting the vulnerabilities of migrants. In this context, situations of insecurity deepen in destination, transit, and origin countries. Taking advantage of the amplitude that the political economy approach gives to the concept of commodity, humans are considered commodities, exploited by crime. Therefore, a methodology through a theoretical approach is applied to the dynamics of irregular migration flows of Venezuelan citizens since 2015, in order to highlight their implications for hemispheric security through the concept of multidimensionality. Finally, it is concluded that the insecurities at the origin of mass migration are exacerbated by criminal structures, reproducing security problems during their journeys.
