2) Question(s) addressed by the author and working arguments
Money transfers, travel and communications, networks and associations
of nationals living abroad, and other new improved opportunities for
expatriates to “live” in one country even as they reside
in another may be creating a powerful tool for development.
In the old days, the main methods for communities of émigrés
to keep in touch with their homelands and their cultures were through
language, cooking recipes, and the occasional letter or visit to their
country of origin.
Now émigrés can sip their morning coffee while reading
online newspapers from their native countries or even listening to the
radio stations they left behind. Many expatriate communities routinely
organize events to raise money for projects in their home communities.
3) Conceptual references to transnational-transnationalism
Transnationalism,
transmigrants and transnational.
4) Conclusions or Final Remarks
Just as governments have made it a national priority to entice multinational
corporations and international fund managers to invest in their countries,
so they should now make the seduction of the new diaspora a key part
of their strategies for development.
