African diaspora direct investment: establishing the economic and socio-cultural rationale

This book sets the context of diaspora direct investment (DDI) and establishes a preliminary identification of the actors. The book provides theoretical perspectives on the African diaspora and the concepts of diaspora direct investment and remittances as well as an overview of the African political economy within which the DDI takes place. This poses the questions that are answered in the book, i.e. the question about the socio-economic and cultural rationale for DDI and its possible development impact.
