WHY? Research on movement from global South to North Remittance-development nexus in sending states (Testas, 2002; de Haas, 2003; Stark and Wang, 2002) Why migrants are interested in transnational activities (Manuh, 1998; Smith and Guarnizo, 1998; Vertovec and Cohen, 1999; Faist, 2000; and Itzigsohn, 2000) But no link between intrinsic inequalities, mobilities and transnational activities
