This project examines through three case studies the origin and character of economic areas significantly affected by remittances: El Salvador and the US; Togo and France; and the Philippines and the US. Our starting point is a dilemma not yet recognised as a spatial phenomenon: In order to ensure regular capital flows between migrants and their families still in the home country, they transnationalize what were formally nationally organized economic territories in the Global South. However, in order to guarantee the regular flow of money, migrants are compelled to continuously send money. The response to this dilemma is the establishment of moral economies - understood as arenas in which transnational economic areas are negotiated - that link migrants to their families and home countries through interconnected spaces of local, translocal, and transnational actions.

本项目通过三个案例研究，审查受汇款严重影响的经济地区的起源和特征：萨尔瓦多和美国;多哥和法国;菲律宾和美国。我们的出发点是一个尚未被承认为空间现象的困境：为了确保移民及其仍在母国的家人之间的正常资本流动，他们将全球南部正式国家组织的经济领土跨国化。然而，为了保证资金的正常流动，移民被迫不断汇款。对这一困境的回应是建立道德经济-被理解为谈判跨国经济领域的舞台-通过当地、跨地方和跨国行动的相互联系空间将移民与其家庭和母国联系起来。
