Description

Diaspora, Development, and Democracy: The Domestic Impact of International Migration from India by Devesh Kapur explores how skilled workers' emigration affects their home country. Migration's impact on India is complex and multifaceted, with effects that depend largely on who leaves and why. This book provides a conceptual framework for understanding the repercussions of international migration on migrants' home countries. Devesh Kapur reveals how education and training abroad have strengthened India's democracy by creating space for previously excluded social groups. The book also highlights the role of international migration in shaping India's integration into the world economy, its perception globally, and traditional conceptions of citizenship.
