Web Anthology on Migrant Remittances and Development: Research Perspectives

By Social Science Research Council
May 1, 2009

This anthology is an experiment in publication.  By agreement with the authors and original publishers, the articles provided for free downloading here will be available for one year, until March 2010.  At that time we will reassess whether the anthology should and can be continued and, if so, in what form.  Most publishers have allowed free access to their publications; some have charged a fee or imposed other restrictions; others have refused to permit open access to their publications on a “third party” website, even for a fee.  Readers of this anthology are encouraged to download the articles provided for personal and educational use.
