Diaspora engagement policy: a new type of transnationalism.
Keywords:
diaspora, transnationalism, migrants, kin populationAbstract
In this globalized world, millions of people live outside their country of origin. Today, almost every country has a diaspora. The past two decades have seen a significant increase in the number of states engaging members of their national communities who reside outside the state’s borders. A growing body of researches conducted by numerous academic institutes has turned the attention of policymakers to the role that migrant and ethnic communities and individual migrants play in the development of countries of origin, of host countries and their influence on interstate relations. The article brings together two concepts – diaspora and transntaionalism, which talk about similar categories of persons involving forms of forced and voluntary migrations, reveals similarities as well as differences between them. The paper also presents an original typology of diaspora engagement policies and provides a theoretical framework for understanding why and when states increase their engagement with populations abroad and what factors affect the implementation of diaspora engagement policies.References
