Summary:

Drawing on case-studies from the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, "International Migration and Sending Countries" demonstrates how sending countries are emerging as complex and significant actors in migration politics. It shows how a more nuanced understanding of sending countries' policies towards their emigrants and diasporas is relevant for both academic and public policy debates on issues of migration control and development.
