Sommario/riassunto

This book spearheads a new area of research-the link between migration and democratization. It argues that return migrants can play an important role in the consolidation process of young democracies. Based on original quantitative and qualitative data, it analyzes the political attitudes and experiences of Philippine labor migrants.
