This title was first published in 2002: This volume demonstrates that international action for democracy does not solely rest on American democracy promotion strategies, but that it actually depends on a variety of global actors and interactions. It is suitable for policy experts, non-governmental organizations, international aid agencies and courses on international relations theory, comparative politics, and Latin American politics. The book: introduces a theoretical framework about the effect of international norms on democracy promotion; connects the role of international institutions and norms with advocacy movements in shaping the mobilization to promote democracy; analyses the relationship between the international dimension of democracy promotion and democratization; explains the effect of international democracy promotion in the political transition of Nicaragua from 1979 to 2001; and brings into analysis the various modalities of democracy promotion and their effects.

How do the foreign policy priorities of Latino Americans relate to U.S. foreign policy in general and U.S. policy toward Latin America in particular? Public policy elites and the general U.S. public doubt the depth of Latino patriotism, suspecting Latinos of representing their homelands' interests over and above those of the U.S. Through a series of studies surveying Latinos throughout the U.S., this book demonstrates that Latino Americans are more like other Americans with respect to foreign policy than is popularly assumed. At the same time, differences between and among various Latino communities (e.g., those with ties to Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Mexico) exist, and may be a source of growing Latino political power perhaps more relevant to domestic politics than to foreign policy.

In our globalizing world, the movement of people and resources has accelerated, giving rise to transnational connections and interdependencies. "New Patterns for Mexico" examines novel and emerging patterns of United States giving to Mexico and its impact on equitable development. Last year alone, Mexican migrants living in the United States sent billions of dollars back to families and relatives living in Mexico. Most of these funds were for private consumption, but more and more diaspora resources support social and philanthropic endeavors in their country of origin. This bilingual volume asks: What are these new patterns of diaspora giving and how do they affect equitable development in Mexico?

Through its Global Philanthropy Program, the Global Equity Initiative of Harvard University aims to advance knowledge about global philanthropy and the role of private philanthropic investments in furthering global equity. This volume, one in a series on diaspora giving, builds upon the earlier work of "Diaspora Philanthropy: Perspectives on India and China" and continues the Program's research series on the relationship between diaspora engagement and equitable development.

Los migrantes hoy en dia estan mas implicados de forma sustantiva y directa en diferentes actividades economicas y sociales con sus paises de origen. Esto es debido, en parte, a la dinamica de la globalizacion y a las nuevas oportunidades resultantes de la apertura politica y economica de las sociedades en su hogar. Las remesas poseen un efecto sobre las finanzas, y por ende sobre la economia y el desarrollo y ademas dentro de un contexto competitivo buscan aumentar la disponibilidad de ingresos mediante el ahorro y el gasto. Al aumentar el ahorro, la remesa influye sobre la capacidad de generacion de activos, de manera que crea posibilidades para el ahorro mismo y la inversion en actividades como la vivienda. En este sentido, las remesas operan como un factor que contribuye a aumentar los activos, liquidos y fijos, de quienes reciben remesas. Esta publicacion es parte de un trabajo de mas de una decada de investigacion de campo y ejecucion de proyectos que recoge y analiza como las transferencias de dinero afectan las economias, comunidades y familias en los paises receptores de America Latina y el Caribe. El presente libro ofrece un analisis sobre las tendencias de las relaciones entre remesas y desarrollo para el caso de America Latina y el Caribe y un acercamiento al conocimiento empirico, teorico y de politicas sobre este tema. Las remesas familiares representan el envio de dinero que el inmigrante manda como parte de su ingreso a sus familias en el pais de origen. Este dinero es parte de un contexto global asociado con procesos migratorios, y opera dentro de una realidad en donde las transferencias, y sus impactos en quienes reciben y sus paises, han adquirido dimensiones propias de analisis.
Description in English]
Latin America and the Caribbean: Development, migration and remittances
Migrants are now more essentially and directly involved in various economic and social activities with their countries of origin. This is partly due to the dynamic of globalization and the new opportunities resulting from the political and economic opening of their home societies. Remittances have an effect on finances, and therefore on the economy and development, and in a competitive context they also seek to increase the availability of income through saving and spending. By increasing saving, remittances influence the ability to generate assets, and thus create possibilities for saving per se as well as investment in activities such as housing. In this sense, remittances serve as a factor that helps to increase the liquid and fixed assets of those who receive them. This publication is part of a decade-long study involving field research and project implementation that gathers and analyzes information on the way money transfers affect economies, communities and families in receiver countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The book offers an analysis of trends in the relationship between remittances and development in the case of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as an empirical, theoretical and policy-based approach to the topic. Family remittances involve the sending of money by immigrants to their families in their country of origin as a source of income. This money is part of a global context associated with migratory processes and operates within a reality in which these transfers, and their impact on those who receive them and their countries, have become worthy of analysis.
