Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction Migration, Development, and Social Transformation -- A Global Perspective on Migration and Development -- Transnationalization and Development Toward an Alternative Agenda -- Politicizing the Transnational On Implications for Migrants, Refugees, and Scholarship -- Understanding the Relationship between Migration and Development Toward a New Theoretical Approach -- Adversary Analysis and the Quest for Global Development Optimizing the Dynamic Conflict of Interest in Transnational Migration -- Contributors
Summary: The relationship between migration and development is becoming an important field of study, yet the fundamentals – analytical tools, conceptual framework, political stance – are not being called into question or dialogue. This volume provides a valuable alternative perspective to the current literature as the contributors explore the contradictory discourses about migration and the role these discourses play in perpetuating inequality and a global regime of militarized surveillance. The assumptions surrounding the assymetrical transfers of resources that accompany migration are deeply skewed and continue to reflect the interests of the most powerful states and the institutions that serve their interests. Those who seek to address the morass of development failure, vitriolic attacks on immigrants, or sanguine views about migrant agency are challenged by this volume to put aside their methodological nationalism and pursue alternative pathways out of the quagmire of poverty, violence, and fear that is enveloping the globe.
