  • Spain had been a country of emigration for over four and a half centuries before it became a country of immigration only recently. While discussions on contemporary immigration policy sometimes mention Spain's history of emigration to Latin America, they rarely address the problems surrounding this process. This article examines the Spanish tradition of emigration, focusing on the design of emigration policy. How did relations between Spain and the states of Latin America influence this policy, and what was the Spanish position regarding emigration? Was policy designed to contain and control emigration or to promote it? After some brief remarks on the colonial period, the analysis concentrates on the 19th and 20th centuries, inc1uding the time of Franco's dictatorship. It concludes that the Spanish governments perceived emigration mainly in a negative way and attempted to control it. Nevertheless, they tried to use it when opportunities arose, for example as part of substitute foreign policy during the Franco regime.
