Abstract

[Increasingly, countries with extensive diasporas have sought to connect with the extended, transnational communities in order to tap into the resources and networks they offer for the domestic developmental purposes. The myriad of approaches adopted for such engagements, from raising awareness to offering incentives and providing mechanisms for members of the diaspora to engage or re-engage with the home country, have become part of the development strategy of many emerging economies. The South Asian region offers many examples of such practices. By focusing on the manner and means by which the diaspora communities engage and contribute to their country of origin, the chapters in this book seek to broaden the scope of diaspora studies beyond migration and settlement. Rather than seeing the diaspora as an outflow of human resources, this book shows how diaspora communities often serve as critical bridges that facilitate movements of capital and funds, sharing of know-how and generate useful transnational networks for various socio-economic initiatives.]
