The Tenacity and Lasting Reality of Cross-Border Movements and Trade in the SADC Region; Inocent Moyo and Christopher Changwe Nshimbi.Based on migration dynamics in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, this edited volume focuses on the activities of grassroots and informal non-state actors. The authors explore cross-border economic activities, migration governance issues, the regional integration project of the SADC, and implications for sustainable development in Africa. Examining the apparent success of immigrant entrepreneurs operating in cities of economically depressed countries such as Zimbabwe, it also discusses the role of local authorities in managing migration to achieve development. Thus, the book is centred on human mobility, the building of cohesive communities between immigrants and indigenous people, the informal economic activities of cross-border traders and undocumented migrants, and regional integration, providing a multidisciplinary and rich source of knowledge for scholars interested in African politics, labour, migration and economy.Palgrave Studies of Sustainable Business in Africa,2662-1215International business enterprisesBusinessAfricaManagementEntrepreneurshipNew business enterprisesDiversity in the workplaceRetail tradeInternational BusinessAfrican BusinessManagementEntrepreneurshipCross-Cultural ManagementTrade and RetailInternational business enterprises.Business.Africa.Management.Entrepreneurship.New business enterprises.Diversity in the workplace.Retail trade.International Business.African Business.Management.Entrepreneurship.Cross-Cultural Management.Trade and Retail.304.86Nshimbi Christopher Changweedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMoyo Inocentedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910303431103321Migration, Cross-Border Trade and Development in Africa2235691UNINA
