Abstract
The principal objectives of this research were to analyze their reintegration challenges and
to dig out the way to use their social and human capital for getting benefit from the
international political economy. Qualitative data were obtained from sixteen highly
qualified return migrants in the universities of Faisalabad. Purposive and snowball sampling
techniques were adopted to reach the respondents and in-depth interviews with them were
conducted with the help of an interview guide. Thematic analysis was applied on the bases
of case studies. The return migrants were facing multiple challenges at the institutional,
political, and economic levels. They were less paid as they can get better salaries
internationally. There is no channel to utilize their human and social capital appropriately
that can be beneficial for enhancing the role of the country in the global political economy.
The difficulties in the diffusion of new ideas, mismanagement at the professional level,
cultural shock, lack of proper infrastructure, and political interference in academic
institutions remained challengeable for them. The country should better utilize the capital of
the highly qualified return migrants to uplift the political economy of the country.
