Harnessing diaspora resources for national development: A comparative study of China, India, and South Korea’s policies and strategies

AbstractPolicies, strategies, and institutions are essential to channel diaspora resources toward national development. The main goal of the study is to analyze how China, India, and South Korea have harnessed the resources of their diaspora for national development. Our results show that each country has its uniqueness in terms of diaspora policies. However, all successful policies start with establishing a dedicated institution, granting legal status, and providing financial mechanisms for investment and incentives for the diaspora.
