Abstract
ABSTRACTUsing Guatemala as a case study, this article seeks to examine how countries like Guatemala can harness the political, economic and social capital of returned migrants and leverage the opportunities presented by return migration for sustainable human and economic development. To conceptualise the ways in which migration might contribute to Guatemala’s development, the country’s historical context, current demographics, societal challenges and state of development must be taken into account. The article identifies the challenges and opportunities of return migration for development in Guatemala. Drawing on several theoretical perspectives, the article makes policy recommendations in consideration of how return migration from a more-developed nation to a less-developed nation might become an opportunity for development.
