商品簡介
Scholars and policy makers are the audience for this collection of journal articles from the 1980s to the present. The articles serve to reveal the historical and contemporary significance of remittances, the need for subtlety in interpretation of flows, and the role of remittances in contributing to economic and social change. Coverage encompasses the firms, transfer channels, determinants, and impacts of remittances. After an overview, sections cover alternative approaches, rationale and determinants, uses and impacts, community remittances, social remittances and social change, and issues of island states and landlocked Central Asian states. The final section deals with policy responses. Original pagination and layouts have been retained. Annotation c2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
