Immigration integral to globalization, creating connections and mobilizing investments in human and financial capital across countries.

Recenzje

'Can international migration be the glue that binds the global political economy together, benefiting both migrant-sending and -receiving countries? Yes. But it depends. In The Ties That Bind, Leblang and Helms masterfully demonstrate with a wealth of data how politics and institutions, such as migrant rights and dual citizenship, determine migration intentions, where people migrate to, and how migrants remain connected to their homelands. A must-read for scholars and global policy-makers.' Maarten Vink, Chair in Citizenship Studies, European University Institute
