{"product_id":"money-flows-catherine-de-vries-9780192897022","title":"Money Flows: The Political Consequences of Migrant Remittances","description":"Remittances, the repatriated earnings of emigrant workers, have risen spectacularly in recent decades. They are a crucial lifeline for the households that receive them and one of the largest sources of capital for developing economies, outstripping both aid and foreign direct investment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eMoney Flows\u003c\/em\u003e studies how remittances shape the relationship between remittance recipients and the authorities in migrant-sending countries by providing a comprehensive study of the political effects of remittances on the attitudes of their recipients. It argues that far from being an exclusively economic risk-sharing mechanism between poorer, migrant-sending, and richer, migrant-receiving economies, remittances may compromise rudimentary accountability mechanisms in the developing world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book leverages survey data from Central-Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia and original focus groups from Kyrgyzstan. It shows how remittances, and fluctuations in their volume, colour recipients' economic evaluations; shape the burden of corruption; and change how recipients interact with, and view their state, ultimately impacting the approval function of the authorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine de Vries, David Doyle, Hector Solaz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192897020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192897022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Catherine de Vries","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46217123889407,"sku":"9780192897022","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d858b91-4e1b-4a7f-b081-46a2f946536d.jpg?v=1728514351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/money-flows-catherine-de-vries-9780192897022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
