Diaspora, Development, and Democracy synopsis

What happens to a country when skilled workers migrate? The first book deals with the complex economic, social and political effects of migration on India, the diaspora, development and democracy. It provides a conceptual framework for understanding the implications of international migration on migrant countries. Devish Kapoor sees immigration as affecting India beyond the simplistic 'brain drain' - the impact of migration depends largely on who leaves and why.

The book presents new ways and empirical evidence to measure these features and explains how the data about these characteristics relate to specific outcomes. For example, the positive selection of Indian immigrants through education has strengthened India's democracy by creating a political space for previously excluded social groups.

Because the old Indian elites have an exit option, they are less likely to resist the loss of political power at home. Education and training abroad played an important role in facilitating the flow of experiences to India, integrating the country into the global economy, shaping a positive outlook on how India understood, and changing the traditional concepts of citizenship.

The book highlights a paradox - while international migration is a cause and a consequence of globalization, its effects on countries of origin depend largely on internal factors of those countries. A rich image of the Indian migrant community, the Diaspora, development and democracy explores the complex political and economic consequences of migration for the countries left behind by immigrants..
