本論文將臺灣人移民巴西視為一項具歷史脈絡的社會過程，探討其如何在國家政策、國際外交與移居後融合等多重因素交織下的形成與發展。研究聚焦於自1960年代開始的移民潮，分析臺灣移民巴西如何嵌入冷戰時期的外交與移民政策架構之中，並進一步探討移民本身及其後代如何在巴西社會中逐步完成融合。論文並未將移民政策與社會融合視為兩個個別的分析層面，而是重新連結國家主導的移民策略與移民日常生活中對歸屬的實踐。
本研究採取質性研究方法，結合檔案分析與制度及社會層面的考察。主要史料來自在新北市國家發展委員會檔案管理局，涵蓋外交與移民相關文件，並以中文原文進行分析。此外，研究亦納入宗教、教育、文化機構的分析與移民個人敘事，以說明跨世代的整合過程如何展開。研究特別關注勞動參與、語言習得、制度性中介機制以及在族裔身分認同隨時間演變之際，記憶如何持續支撐歸屬感。
論文主張，臺灣人在巴西的融合經驗，無法透過線性同化模式或單純的族群保存框架加以充分解釋。相反地，融合呈現為一種「協商式的延續性」，其初始形態受到冷戰時期制度條件的塑造，並在後續世代中透過日常實踐、情感連結與社群記憶重新詮釋。透過填補臺灣移民巴西研究上的實證缺口，並將移民經驗置於更廣泛的地緣政治與制度脈絡之中，本論文對移民與整合理論、冷戰時期的跨國流動體制，以及亞洲移民於拉丁美洲的研究文獻提供了實質貢獻 。

This dissertation examines Taiwanese immigration to Brazil as a historically situated process shaped by state policy, international diplomacy, and post-migration integration. Focusing on migration flows that began in the 1960s, the study analyses how Taiwanese migration to Brazil emerged within Cold War era diplomatic and migration frameworks, and how migrants and their descendants subsequently integrated within Brazilian society. Rather than treating migration policy and integration as separate analytical planes, the dissertation reconnects state-led migration strategies with everyday practices of belonging.
Drawing on qualitative methodology, the research combines archival analysis with institutional and social analysis. Primary sources include diplomatic and migration-related documents from the National Archives Administration in New Taipei City, accessed in Mandarin Chinese. These materials are complemented by analysis of religious, educational, and cultural institutions, as well as migrant narratives, to how integration unfolded across generations. Particular attention is paid to labour examine participation, language acquisition, institutional mediation, and the role of memory in sustaining belonging as formal ethnic identification evolved over time.
The study argues that Taiwanese integration in Brazil cannot be sufficiently explained through linear models of assimilation or ethnic retention. Instead, integration took the form of a negotiated continuity, shaped by Cold War institutional conditions and later reinterpreted through everyday practices, affective ties, and community memory. By addressing the empirical gap in scholarship on Taiwanese migration to Brazil and situating migrant experiences within broader geopolitical and institutional contexts, this dissertation contributes to literature on migration and integration, Cold War mobility regimes, and Asian migration to Latin America.
