In this rigorous and illuminating work, Matt Bakker, an economic sociologist, examines how these migrant remittances—the resources of some of the world’s least affluent people—have come to be seen in recent years as a fundamental contributor to development in the migrant‑sending states of the global south. This book analyzes how the connection between remittances and development was forged through the concrete political and intellectual practices of policy entrepreneurs within a variety of institutional settings, from national government agencies and international development organizations to nongovernmental policy foundations and think tanks.Migrating into Financial MarketsEmigrant remittancesEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsEconomic developmentinternational policyeconomic developmentsustainable developmentemigrant remittancesmigrationDirecto a MéxicoFinancial institutionMexicoNeoliberalismNorth AmericaUnited StatesEmigrant remittances.Emigration and immigrationEconomic aspects.Economic development.332.0Bakker Matt1971-935792NjHacINjHaclBOOK996328040503316Migrating into financial markets2108127UNISA
