Abstract

This article examines the Toyota method in the administration of international migration, considering the contemporary governance of migration as a capitalist form of administration of social problems. Beginning in the 1980s, this model of corporate governance inspired all types of reforms of institutions and public administration in the West, where companies become power-concentrating organizations. The current political directives for migration control present a clear retrogression to authoritarianism, without distinction between the authority of the “prince” and the rhetorical laws of the “Rule of Law.”
