Portuguese emigration and development: networks and transnational spaces
Portuguese emigration and development: networks and transnational spaces
Description

Public debate and research on the migration-development nexus tend to assume an overlapping of the distinction between country of origin and developing country, on the one hand, and country of destination and developed country, on the other. The majority of the research literature on emigration and development focuses on developing countries. For this reason, the transposition of this literature to the analysis of the impacts of emigration in developed countries of origin is not fully adequate. Building on the theoretical framework of transnationalism that says migrations are not simple movements of absence and presence but relational channels between sending places and destinations where material and symbolic resources circulate, we will study the implications of these channels to the development. Empirically it relies on the fact that Portugal is a developed and emigration country to explore the contributions of Portuguese emigrants to the development of their places of origin.
