In Transnational Social Protection, Peggy Levitt, Erica Dobbs, Ken Chih-Yan Sun, and Ruxandra Paul delve into the implications of an increasingly mobile society, where individuals live, work, study, and retire outside their countries of citizenship. Through the lens of the resource environment, the authors explore how migrants and their families navigate a complex web of protections from various sources in diverse settings. They demonstrate how these arrangements vary geographically and over time, forming a hybrid transnational social protection regime that complements, supplements, or, in some cases, substitutes for national social welfare systems. By examining how national social welfare is impacted by migration and mobility, this book pioneers a shift in our understanding of social protection, moving it beyond the confines of national boundaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors argue that a new set of transnational social welfare arrangements has emerged that challenge traditional social welfare provision based on national citizenship and residence. They suggest that the concept of resource environment is useful in understanding how migrants and their families piece together packages of protections from multiple sources in multiple settings. The authors further show how a new, hybrid transnational social protection regime has emerged in response to the changing environment, complementing, supplementing, or, in some cases, substituting for national social welfare systems. The book examines how national social welfare is affected when migration and mobility become an integral part of everyday life, and moves our understanding of social protection from the national to the transnational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 352g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 155 x 236 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780197666838\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeggyLevitt,EricaDobbs,Ken Chih-YanSun,RuxandraPaul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44232507392250,"sku":"9780197666838","price":21.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1683887719359_book_7e1c967c-ca83-4f95-bf84-0e7b130e89ce.jpg?v=1683959248","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/transnational-social-protection-social-welfare-across-national-borders-9780197666838","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
