Reviews

A timely analysis of the institutional and conceptual discourses about remittances. The Political Economy of Global Remittances clearly shows how the growth and persistence of the GRT has come about and reveals some of the problematic implications of its narrow macroeconomic understanding of remittances. Kunz provides interesting reflections for researchers working on remittances. - Marta Bivand Erdal, Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, 2012, Vol. 30
