“…The World Bank Development Research Group presents a seven-point plan to help developing countries take greater advantage of the benefits of globalization, and to manage the risks associated with their integration into the world economy. 3 Yusuf (2003) lists a number of factors that are relevant as a source of growth to both poor and rich countries. These are labour, human capital, research and development investment, technological progress and the increase in total factor productivity resulting from scale economies, agglomeration effects, externalities, as well as institutions that secure rights and minimize transaction costs.…”

This paper introduces two composite indices of globalization. The first is based on the Kearney/Foreign Policy magazine and the second is obtained from principal component analysis. They indicate the level of globalization and show how globalization has developed over time for different countries. The indices are composed of four components: economic integration, personal contact, technology and political engagement, each generated from a number of indicators. A breakdown of the index into major components provides possibilities to identify the sources of globalization at the country level and associate it with economic policy measures. The empirical results show that a low rank in the globalization process is due, in addition to involvement in conflicts, to economic and technology factors with limited possibility for the developing countries to affect. The high ranked developed countries share similar patterns in distribution of various components. The indices were also used in a regression analysis to study the causal relationships between income inequality, poverty and globalization. The results show evidence of a weak and negative relationship between globalization and income inequality and poverty.

“…In fact, a well-educated diaspora can improve access to capital, technology, information, foreign exchange, and business contacts for firms in the country of origin. According to other studies, immigrants play a role in facilitating trade by providing information and helping to enforce contracts (Rauch and Trindade, 1999) and by acting as intermediaries that can match buyers with reliable local suppliers (Yusuf, 2001). Johnson and Sedaca (2004) emphasize that diasporas can act as "first movers" who catalyze growth opportunities and make connections between markets that otherwise would not exist.…”

This report analyzes issues related to international migration in Armenia and its impact on Armenian households' welfare. The report uses microdata coming from two recent household surveys, the 2017 Russian-Armenian University survey, a nationally-representative household survey focused on international migrants and their origin households, and the 2017 Integrated Living Conditions Survey, a nationally-representative household survey conducted by the Statistical Committee focused on welfare measurement but also with information on international migrants.

“…Gunder Frank flamboyantly referred to this trend as the 'development of under-development' in 1975(Gunder Frank 1975. Yussuf (2001) defines the key aspects of globalisation as the growth of international trade, the increase in international capital flows and their investment potential, growing migration, more extensive information and communication and the spread of advanced and innovative technologies. Walby has suggested (2009) that the existence of increasingly interventionist international organisations on an international scale also deserves attention.…”

Indian Skilled Migration and Development

This chapter looks at the opportunities and uncertainties of globalisation in terms of the production of world knowledge, with an emphasis on the factors that limit the distribution and fair use of this knowledge for the benefit of less advanced countries. We show how existing disparities between developed countries and emerging and developing countries relating to the level of higher education, the resources available for research and access to technologies and innovation have made scientific cooperation an indispensable mechanism for advancement. Having established this context, we then turn our attention to the transfer of knowledge for the benefit of developing countries, as promoted by the scientific diaspora. Taking the case of India and its relationship with Europe as an example, we present a qualitative analysis based on interviews held with Indian students and researchers who are either living in Europe or who have returned to India, and with some other key informants. India is a paradigmatic case in terms of knowledge, science and technology insofar as the country is a source of skilled personnel for many developed countries, including the European countries that have become popular as new destinations. We look at three determinants for channelling knowledge transfer: institutional mechanisms for bilateral cooperation, transnational collaboration and the affective capital of migrants. We observe how these channels foster scientific cooperation and strengthen the critical mass in the country of origin. While our findings point to a trend whereby scientific diasporas become carriers of knowledge for their countries of origin in the South,
