Remittances are not only the largest source of foreign income in most autocratic countries but also, in contrast to foreign aid or international investment, flow directly to citizens. As a result, they provide resources that make political opposition possible and decrease government dependency, undermining the patronage strategies underpinning authoritarianism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors discuss how international migration produces a decentralised flow of income that generally circumvents governments to reach citizens, who act as democratising agents. Documenting why dictatorships fall and how this process has changed in the last three decades, the authors show that remittances increase the likelihood of protest and reduce electoral support for authoritarian incumbents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining global macroanalysis with microdata and case studies of Senegal and Cambodia, \u003ci\u003eMigration and Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how remittances—and the movement of people from authoritarian nations to higher-income countries—foster democracy and its expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWonderful and compelling, \u003ci\u003eMigration and Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e explores how remittances influence political behaviour in autocracies.
