Abstract
Network diasporas are but the latest
bridge connecting developing economy insiders, with their
risk-mitigating knowledge and connections, to outsiders in
command of technical know-how and investment capital. This
book examines the interaction of expatriate talent with
institutions in expatriates' countries of origin in an
attempt to make the potential of diasporas and their
knowledge a reality. The question of how to trigger and
sustain such a virtuous cycle is a central concern of this
book. The focus is on the "how to" details of how
to design effective diaspora networks and transform brain
drain into brain gain.
