Book Synopsis
Emigrants are increasingly viewed as a resource for promoting economic development back in their home countries. Benjamin Graham finds that diasporans - migrants and their descendants - play a critical role in linking foreign firms to social networks in developing countries, allowing firms to flourish even in challenging political environments.

Trade Review
In this important new book, Ben Graham adds to our understanding of global capital flows by focusing on immigration. Arguing that migrants have information about their homelands—about opportunities and potential constraints—Graham demonstrates how diaspora networks act as a conduit for financial capital in ways that traditional mechanisms fail."" - David Leblang, University of Virginia

""This volume makes an important contribution to the study of foreign direct investment."" - Quan Li, Texas A&M UniversityPolitical Science / Political Economy
