Summary/Abstract |
Focusing exclusively on foreign direct investment (FDI) as a comparative measure of capital inflows obscures another significant source of funds-that of monetary remittances. This article emphasizes the empirical and analytic value of disaggregating FDI data and analyzing remittance trends in the two most populous developing countries in the world, China and India. While identifying the determinants of FDI inflows dominates much of the literature on FDI, this article suggests that the concept of FDI may not be the most meaningful indicator of relative developmental performance, especially given the reality of national definitional differences in FDI, roundtrip capital, growth in portfolio investment and variation in the sources and uses of realized FDI. In this context, the article examines what motivates the respective diasporas to send money back to their homelands in the form of FDI versus remittances and the local developmental implications of these diasporic flows. It proposes that attending to vernacular modes of capital formation such as ethnic and transnational networks presents an analytic opportunity to generate more empirically accurate and nuanced theories of political economy.

Summary/Abstract |
While India’s Northeast in general and Assam in particular have been a standing witness to the rather sustained history of what Amalendu Guha calls ‘anti-foreigner’s upsurge’ since the beginning of the twentieth century, there is reason to think that the ‘foreigners’ are perceived as a threat to the country’s security only recently with the turn of the new millennium.

Summary/Abstract |
This article critically reviews the development of Czech immigration and integration policy with special emphasis on that part of migration policy that Czechia implements relatively independently of the EU. The main objective, then, is to shed light on factors that have influenced immigration and integration policy formation. The key question of whether integration policy is being formed in Czechia and what direction Czechia is taking is answered in the following steps: description of migration policy including the role of the EU, discussion of the influence of the apolitical nature of the migration policy and analysis of the influence of alien and security discourse on the integration of immigrants into Czech society.
