CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE TERM DIASPORA THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN

Abstract

The process of diaspora formation is usually conditioned by migration processes and the creation of migrant communities abroad is one of the effects of migration that bring with it a series of advantages for the countries of origin. Diaspora represents an active power, involved in almost all fields of activity of a society, therefore, in the specialized literature, the term itself is treated differently, depending on the field of study that addresses it. However, how can diaspora be defined, how can its size be assessed, how is this term different from migration, how the interest in the study of diaspora has evolved and what are the economic ramifications of diaspora actions for the countries of origin, are just some of the aspects that we propose to address during the research.
