The Global Commission on International Migration is hoping to organize a one-day workshop that will look at diaspora populations from a comparative perspective, using Afghans and Somalis as the principal case studies. We have yet to work out a detailed agenda, but the workshop would probably address issues such as migration routes and mechanisms (especially forms of irregular migration), migrant remittances, migrant livelihoods, return migration and the impact of diasporas on the culture, society and economy of the country of origin. Please let me know if you are interested and feel free to forward this message to others you know who are working in this field. With best regards.
