Opis

This book examines whether countries or regions that experience significant outward migration can expect to benefit politically from that emigration.

Recenzje

“Migration is generally considered to improve the economic well-being of the individual, though its broader effects on society and the polity are poorly understood. In this subtle analysis of emigration and political development, Jonathon Moses opens a new line of inquiry and his findings are original and provocative. Anyone interested in how mobility effects political change will want to read this book.”
– James F. Hollifield, Professor of Political Science, Southern Methodist University
