Argues that a new set of transnational social welfare arrangements
has emerged that challenge traditional social welfare provision
based on national citizenship and residence. The idea that social
rights are something we are eligible for based on where we live or
where we are citizens is out-of-date. In Transnational Social
Protection, Peggy Levitt, Erica Dobbs, Ken Chih-Yan Sun, and
Ruxandra Paul consider what happens to social welfare when more and
more people live, work, study, and retire outside their countries
of citizenship where they receive health, education, and elder
care. The authors use the concept of resource environment to show
how migrants and their families piece together packages of
protections from multiple sources in multiple settings and the ways
that these vary by place and time. They further show how a new,
hybrid transnational social protection regime has emerged in
response to the changing environment that complements, supplements,
or, in some cases, substitutes for national social welfare systems
as we knew them. Examining how national social welfare is affected
when migration and mobility become an integral part of everyday
life, this book moves our understanding of social protection from
the national to the transnational.
