Over the last decade or so, a new trend of global remittances has
emerged within the international development community. Government
and private sector actors have become interested in migration and
remittances and their potential for poverty reduction and
development, and have started to devise institutions and policies
to harness this potential. This volume examines the emergence of
the global remittances trend (GRT) against the backdrop of a number
of ongoing global transformations. It explores the conceptual and
institutional apparatus that constitute the GRT assesses the
implications beyond the intended outcome of promoting development
and reducing poverty. With an in-depth case study on Mexico and
locating the migration-development nexus within its wider
development context, the author demonstrates that the GRT is
instrumental in spreading and deepening neo-liberal governmentality
in a deeply gendered way. This innovative book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of political science,
international relations, sociology, development studies, economics,
gender studies and Latin American Studies.
Over the last decade, a new phenomenon has emerged within the
international community: the Global Remittances Trend (GRT).
Thereby, government institutions, international (financial)
organisations, NGOs and private sector actors have become
interested in migration and remittances and their potential for
poverty reduction and development, and have started to devise
institutions and policies to harness this potential. This book
employs a gender-sensitive governmentality analysis to trace the
emergence of the GRT, to map its conceptual and institutional
elements, and to examine its broader implications. Through an
analysis of the GRT at the international level, combined with an
in-depth case study on Mexico, this book demonstrates that the GRT
is instrumental in spreading and deepening specific forms of
gendered neoliberal governmentality. This innovative book will be
of interest to students and scholars of political science,
international relations, sociology, development studies, economics,
gender studies and Latin American studies.
Multilayered Migration Governance explores the emerging concept of
migration partnerships' in political management and governance of
international migration flows. The partnership approach to
migration seeks to balance responsibility and benefits of migration
more evenly between source, transit and destination countries. Case
studies from the US, Europe and Africa analyse the various
initiatives and programmes applied in national, regional and
transcontinental migration policy today. It shows that a
multilayered system of migration governance has emerged which
embeds primarily bilateral and mainly control-focused migration
partnerships in a broader framework of (trans-)regional and
international cooperation providing key links to policy areas in
development, trade, finance and security. Utilising a comparative
approach to assess the impact of partnerships on global migration
policies, the book will be of interests to scholars and students in
migration and development studies and international relations more
broadly.
