title = "Migrants{\textquoteright} Citizenship and Rights: Limits and Potential for NGOs{\textquoteright} Advocacy in Chile",
abstract = "In this chapter we address the structural and institutional constraints faced by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) assisting Peruvian migrants in Chile to advocate for migrants{\textquoteright} rights. We argue that these constraints have provoked reactive rather than proactive strategic responses by NGOs in their promotion of migrants{\textquoteright} rights. In addition, the unchallenged acceptance of a traditional notion of citizenship has placed Chilean NGOs as short-term service providers rather than as long-term advocates. We propose that a conscious recognition of the possibilities opened up by international legal regimes to confront nation-states{\textquoteright} regulation of migrants{\textquoteright} rights offers a pragmatic approach to navigating such limits.",
