The empirical evidence of the proliferation of complex patterns and migratory cycles, whose characteristic is the mix between categories of migrants, are characteristic of the trend of migration from the so-called Global South to the Global North under the form of forced migrations, especially since the end of the Cold War. To recognize links between types of migration and the different positions of the people about them poses challenges of conceptualization on the continuities between migration processes with a view to overcome theoretical and methodological dualisms that analyze these types of migrations separately. This article offers a different analytical approach in order to explain the relation among processes of migration, displacement and refuge. It employs the conceptual framework of the “border regime” to help with the unveiling of the “order of things at the border.” The article starts from the idea that the connections between the displacement of people, the international refugee regime, and the study of the migratory phenomenon are based on the “national order of things” and that this same parameter has inspired other studies in social sciences.
