Dr. Matthew Hoye and PhD Candidate Mohamed Muse talk about the work of the ERC-funded project JustRemit, an interdisciplinary study of global justice theories and remittances, combining perspectives from political theory, ethnography, and security studies. This episode discusses the impact that remitters have on their home countries, and the global economy as a whole, as well as how attempts to regulate the transmission of money have affected these international workers. The recent events in Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are used as case studies for these discussions.
