International Migration And Development In South Asia (Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series)

This book analyses the role South Asian migrants and diaspora communities play in the South Asian society. It addresses changes induced by migration at the micro-, meso- and macro- levels by documenting case studies of various South Asian migrant groups living in different parts of the world as settlers as well as sojourners. Taking an interdisciplinary approach by focusing on both colonial, permanent immigrants and contemporary, sojourner migrants of South Asian origin. Contributions from different disciplinary backgrounds, including sociology, anthropology, political science, international relations and economics, document the development implications of South Asian migration. Broad in scope in terms of contents, timeline of migration, and geographical coverage, the book presents empirically-based case studies involving India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal from South Asia and their emigrants living and working in the different parts of the world. It advances knowledge on the global debate on the migration-development nexus by documenting experiences in a number of countries in South Asia.
