Description: Over the past decade, the Global Remittances Trend (GRT) has gained significant attention within the global community. Various actors, including government bodies, international financial organizations, NGOs, and private companies, have increasingly focused on migration and remittances, recognizing their potential for driving poverty alleviation and development. As a result, new institutions and policies have been developed to capitalize on these opportunities. This book uses a gender-sensitive governmentality approach to explore the rise of the GRT, map its conceptual and institutional structures, and investigate its broader impacts. By analyzing the GRT at the global level and conducting a detailed case study on Mexico, it reveals how the trend reinforces and expands gendered forms of neoliberal governance. This cutting-edge work is essential reading for students and researchers in fields such as political science, international relations, sociology, development economics, gender studies, and Latin American studies.
