Laguerre proposes a relationship among migrants and their home society that transcends current views in migration studies. The relationship among Haitians who live outside Haiti reflects a web rather than a radial relationship with the home country; Haitian migrants communicate among themselves and the home country simultaneously. In viewing the Haitian diaspora from a global perspective, the author reveals a new theory of interconnectedness in migration, which marks a significant move away from transnationalism.
Laguerre takes an innovative approach to the analysis of migration studies by suggesting a more complex understanding oftherelationshipsamong migrants,their specific localities in their home countries, and their everyday practices in the receiving societies.' - Ramona Hernández, Professor of Sociology/Director Dominican Studies Institute, City College-CUNY JV

In A Social Theory of the WTO, Jane Ford uses a social theory or constructivist approach to show that developing countries played a critical role in strengthening multilateralism in the World Trade Organization.
