The objective of this text is to contextualise and present a small monographic on recent studies that address the migratory relations between Spain and Latin America in a double sense: Latin Americans who emigrate to Spain and, conversely, Spaniards who emigrate to Latin America. The historical context is the past decade, with the background of the economic crisis that began in 2008. A brief review has been made of the data shown by the Statistics on Migrations of the National Statistics Institute with regard to the evolution of migratory flows during the period 2008-2019, which serves as a basis for the presentation of each of the selected articles. That papers address the evolution of the migratory flows between Latin America and Spain, research about the processes of rooting and the emigration of Spaniards to Latin America.

The economic crisis and its impact on the Spanish policy of international cooperation are analysed in three different parts of this document. Initially, the paper addresses the cuts from a Latin American perspective, and through international regulatory framework of the effectiveness and governance of development aid. The second stage analyzes such cuts and its impact in three fields: Latin America, Spanish cooperation policy and the global agenda. Finally, some conclusions arise which point out challenges and opportunities within reduced public expense, and identifies some areas to be considered from a Latin American point of view.
