Abstract
This is the concluding chapter in which all the arguments of the book are brought together to make the two overarching points. One, that while the conventional narrative often portrays the dialectic between states and transnational actors as dyadic and oppositional in nature, it is far more layered and complex than that. Two, that a changing global landscape has dramatically reshaped national economies and the international state system, and this in turn is engendering changes in the relationship between all political groupings including the state and migrant community.
