I have recognized few crucial theoretical and methodological limitations in the altruism/self-interest model (Lucas & Stark, 1985; Taylor, 1999) in studying the determinants of migrant’s remittances. While this model emphasizes the migrant’s altruism in determining his/her remittances, I demonstrate that it, in fact, fails to capture true altruism. What this model recognizes as altruism is practically a variant of self-interest. In response, I propose an alternative sociological model to understand the determinants of migrant’s remittances.
I’m wondering if somebody can suggest me a journal that may consider publishing a 4000-word review article on the determinants of migrant’s remittances.
Consider Global Policy. They publish 4000-word articles that "analyse external developments and innovations in areas that have a tangible impact on the policy environment."
Having written an article for them on remittances and development, I know that Global Policy is interested in the general subject matter.

Hi Dr. Emmanuel,
Thanks for your journal suggestion. I'll definitely look into this journal.
Dear Professor de Sousa,
Thanks for your suggestion. However, my sample is primarily Bangladeshi migrants. The review article is general in scope though.
