Money Matters in Migration
Money Matters in Migration explores the intricate relationship between money, migration, participation, and citizenship, which are central political and social concerns. These dynamics are deeply influenced by both tangible and intangible monetary aspects, yet the role of money as a conceptual and policy tool is often understudied, overlooked, and analytically underdeveloped.
For both sending and receiving societies, and among migrants, their families, employers, NGOs, or private institutions, money defines boundaries, inclusion or exclusion, opportunity structures, and equality or the lack thereof. Through the analytical lens of money, the chapters in this book reveal hidden and sometimes contradictory policy objectives, unintended consequences, and inconsistent regulatory structures.
The authors, hailing from a range of fields, offer multiple perspectives on how money shapes decisions at all levels of the migration process, from micro to macro. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws on case studies from Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, providing a comprehensive overview that brings to light the profound global impacts of money on migration and citizenship.
