Contents:

The Indian diaspora, diaspora policies, and overseas citizenship of India -- The conceptual framework of migration and development -- Determinants of status passages : becoming a US citizen and an overseas citizen of India -- The rights effect : enabling rights and expectations -- The identity effect : the intangible benefits of OCI -- The naturalization effect of OCI -- The good-will effect -- Action effects of OCI on migration and development.

Summary: In the post-globalization world, many countries conceive special citizenship policies for emigrants and their descendants, their so-called diaspora. Migration, Citizenship and Development examines the effects of country-of-origin citizenship on the Indian diaspora in the United States and return migrants in India. Using an interdisciplanary approach it combimes political concepts of state power and governance, sociological categorizations of behaviour and identity, and economic scholarship on remittances and development.
