The first book to examine the complex economic, social, and political effects of migration on India, Diaspora, Development, and Democracy provides a conceptual framework for understanding the repercussions of international migration on migrants' home countries. Migration has influenced India far beyond a simplistic 'brain drain'. Its impact greatly depends on who leaves and why. Devesh Kapur offers new methods and empirical evidence for measuring these traits and shows how data about these characteristics link to specific outcomes. He argues that the positive selection of Indian migrants through education has strengthened India's democracy by creating a political space for previously excluded social groups. n
