Transnationalism and diaspora

本研究旨在将散居、循环移徙和跨国联系纳入人口和移徙的人口概念。跨国主义取代永久迁移作为移民研究的主导范式，为人口统计测量和移民研究提出了问题。该项目将利用传统的人口数据，结合定量和定性综合研究，分析散居-移徙-发展之间的关系。它将研究四个国家，以了解散居者的特点、他们的国际联系以及他们促进原籍国发展的潜力。预计这将产生关于如何最大限度地发挥侨民经济潜力的政策建议。

This study aims to incorporate diaspora, circular migration and transnational linkages into demographic concepts of population and migration. Transnationalism’s replacement of permanent movements as the dominant paradigm in migration studies raises questions for demographic measurement and the study of migration. This project will use traditional demographic data with integrated quantitative and qualitative research to analyse the diaspora–migration–development nexus. It will study four countries to understand the characteristics of diasporas, their international linkages and their potential for enhancing development in origin countries. This is expected to generate policy advice on how to maximise the economic potential of diaspora.
