Overview
This volume studies the migration of more than one million Pakistani workers to the oil-exporting countries of the Middle East. It examines the critical role that the providing of jobs and foreign exchange play in Pakistan's economy. The author focuses on the decentralized nature of the migration to the Arab Gulf, showing what he believes to be important implications for the political, economic, and social development of Pakistan. The first book on this subject devoted solely to Pakistan, its interdisciplinary approach will make it accessible to scholars in political science, international relations, economics, sociology, as well as the general reader.
