La Organizacion Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) es una organizacion poco estudiada, cuyo mandato concierne, sin embargo, uno de los asuntos actualmente mas politizados en los paises occidentales. Este articulo presenta la historia, la doctrina y las practicas de la OIM. Mostraremos que si bien durante mucho tiempo ha sido una organizacion fragil, en un contexto en el que las politicas migratorias no responden a un regimen internacional solido, la OIM ha terminado imponiendose - a partir de los anos 1990 - como un actor imprescindible de la mundializacion y la externalizacion de dichas politicas. La estrategia de la OIM consiste en despolitizar los retos de los fenomenos migratorios y en promover una gestion tecnica de las migraciones, centrada en la utilidad economica que estas ultimas representarian para todas las partes (paises de origen, paises de destino y migrantes). Dicha estrategia le permite aparecer como un intermediario neutro, aceptado tanto por los estados como por los actores de la sociedad civil y del sector privado. Sin embargo, esta despolitizacion se ve acompanada por un alineamiento de la OIM con los intereses de los paises occidentales de inmigracion, lo que posibilita intervenciones altamente politicas, especialmente en los paises de origen de los migrantes. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) is a sparsely studied organisation, whose mandate includes, however, one of the most politicised issues currently present in Western countries.  This article outlines the history, doctrine and practices of the IOM.  We will show that although it has been a weak organisation for a long time, in a context where migratory policies don’t respond to a robust international regime, the IOM has been able to impose itself -from the 1990s- as an essential actor in globalization and the externalization of such policies.  The strategy of the IOM consists of depoliticising the challenges of the migratory phenomena, and of promoting the technical management of migrations, centering on the economic utility that these would represent for all parts (countries of origin, destination countries, and the migrants).  Such a strategy allows it to seem like a neutral intermediary, accepted as much by states, civil society and the private sector.  However, this depoliticisation finds itself accompanied by an alignment of the IOM with the immigration interests of Western countries, which makes highly political interventions possible, especially in the migrants’ countries of origin.
