Migration And Development

In recent years, the migration and development framework has shifted to a focus on the role of diasporas and migrant remittances in homeland development. Using criticality and particularly political economy as a methodology, this research paper sheds light on how the so-called migration-development nexus is embedded within a context of unequal neoliberal economic globalization. The research paper demonstrates that current approaches are a resurgence of modernization theories of development, which ignore the structural and historic conditions within which international migration from the Global South to the Global North is embedded. The research paper puts forward that the current focus on remittances as a source of development places the burden of a country's development onto an exploitable migrant workforce.

Financial Practices

This chapter looks at the intertwining of financial practices at firms with different forms of social ties. It concentrates on the role of mediators, such as “sekserë” and “të njohur” and the broader mobilization of migrant networks to attract deposits for the firms. The firms deliberately mobilized such social ties by offering incentives for sekserë and “menaxherë” to recruit their family members, neighbors, and friends. The chapter also talks about the transactional pathways of circulation of migrant remittances through the firms that were mediated by social ties of kinship and friendship. It investigates how social ties enabled the ongoing financial activities of the firms and how, in turn, transactions with the firms strengthened or weakened social ties.
