Diaspora Governance and Transnational Entrepreneurship

<p>A burgeoning literature is currently exploring the rise of a new migratory profile: migrants engaged in Transnational Entrepreneurship referring to immigrants who are engaged in cross-border business involving their country of origin and destination both perceived as lands of opportunity.<br>Until now little has been done in linking business studies and migration studies in this particular field of research on diaspora politics and Transnational Entrepreneurship; besides the focus has mostly been on identifying the key independent variables patterns and developing hypotheses on the favourable and non-favourable factors promoting migrant business involvement in the country of residence alone. This book collects the main findings of the European Horizon–2020–RISE Project DiasporaLink a multidisciplinary project that has gathered the most prominent scholars in their respective field. Grounded in a variety of empirical evidences of the impact of Transnational Entrepreneurship the book aims to explore the new global social pattern of entrepreneurs doing business transnationally.<br>The chapters in this book were first published as a special issue of the <i>Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies</i>.</p>
