Question(s) addressed by the author and working arguments

Money transfers, travel and communications, networks and associations of nationals living abroad, and other new improved opportunities for expatriates to “live” in one country even as they reside in another may be creating a powerful tool for development.

In the old days, the main methods for communities of émigrés to keep in touch with their homelands and their cultures were through language, cooking recipes, and the occasional letter or visit to their country of origin.

Now émigrés can sip their morning coffee while reading online newspapers from their native countries or even listening to the radio stations they left behind. Many expatriate communities routinely organize events to raise money for projects in their home communities.

Conceptual references to transnational – transnationalism

Conclusions or Final Remarks

Just as governments have made it a national priority to entice multinational corporations and international fund managers to invest in their countries, so they should now make the seduction of the new diaspora a key part of their strategies for development.
