• Resumen

  • Este artículo evalúa los efectos del declive de la globalización sobre la emigración y la sindicalización en exportadoras de Casablanca, Marruecos. Con metodología cualitativa, se analizan 92 entrevistas en profundidad (2015–2017). A lo largo de múltiples crisis, se deterioraron las cadenas de suministro que habían facilitado la emigración, y disminuyeron la emigración y el deseo de emigrar. Muchos logros sindicales se redujeron o recortaron; los sindicatos resistieron mayor precariedad, luchando contra las pérdidas y/o haciendo concesiones. El 60% de las personas entrevistadas rechazó la emigración. Quienes más desean emigrar son migrantes sindicalizados (hombres y mujeres), especialmente hombres jóvenes; los casablanquenses sindicalizados fueron un cercano segundo lugar. Los migrantes no sindicalizados (hombres y mujeres) son quienes más la rechazan. Aunque es un estudio de caso con generalización limitada, permite comparaciones y ayuda a anticipar cómo la emigración presente y futura estará influida por la división del mundo en nuevos bloques regionales que sustituyen a la globalización.
