This book offers a global, research-driven exploration of migration and immigrant entrepreneurship, illuminating how migrant innovators transform economies, societies, and development across borders. Migration stands as one of the most influential forces in human history, shaping civilizations economically, socially, and culturally. Within this dynamic process, immigrant entrepreneurship has emerged as a critical pathway for migrant integration, fostering economic mobility, strengthening co-ethnic communities, and driving development in both origin and destination countries.Organized into four interconnected parts, the volume provides a multidisciplinary examination of theory, evidence, and practice. Part I, 'Beyond Borders', explores the theoretical foundations, empirical research, and key trends in migration and entrepreneurship. Part II, 'Shaping Development', analyzes how migrant entrepreneurship mediates the relationship between migration and local economic development, while also shaping migrants' own socioeconomic outcomes. Part III, 'Toward Success', focuses on immigrants' motivations, resources, opportunities, business strategies, and structural barriers as they navigate entrepreneurial pathways in host countries. Part IV, 'Building Communities', highlights the vital role of migrant entrepreneurship in community building and sustainable development.Together, these contributions offer a nuanced, global perspective on migration and entrepreneurship, making this volume an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in migration studies, entrepreneurship, development economics, and related disciplines.
