El desplazamiento forzado interno suele ser presentado como un fenómeno doméstico, determinado por factores y contextos esencialmente locales. Sin embargo, de acuerdo a los datos aportados por el Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre solo en 2019 cincuenta países distintos, localizados en regiones tan diversas como Asia Central, África Subsahariana y América Latina, enfrentaron desplazamientos significativos de población dentro de sus fronteras, vinculados al conflicto armado y la violencia generalizada. Surge, entonces, la pregunta de si un fenómeno tan extendido puede seguir siendo considerado local. ¿Es posible que junto a los elementos domésticos se encuentren lógicas y dinámicas globales que incidan en su producción? La Red Latinoamericana de Desplazamiento Interno (LANID) propone iniciar una reflexión sobre esta pregunta, a través de tres estudios de caso en la región y una reflexión sobre los datos mundiales de este fenómeno.
