Description
Remittances Review is a biannual, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, policy-focused research on remittances and money transfers. Since its launch, the journal has appeared in May and October each year, offering a platform for scholarly contributions from a broad range of disciplines including economics, accounting, finance, sociology, political science, anthropology, geography, and law. Emphasizing the crucial role of international remittances, projected to exceed $2 billion daily, with a significant portion directed to developing nations, the journal explores how these flows alleviate poverty and contribute to economic development in migrant-sending countries. It welcomes both micro- and macro-level analyses, as well as studies on the infrastructure and mechanisms that facilitate small-scale cross-border transfers. Remittances Review features research articles, interviews, debates, book reviews, opinion pieces, and letters, all subject to a rigorous double-blind peer review process. It serves as a leading outlet for academic dialogue in this dynamic and multidisciplinary field.
