Über dieses Buch
This book examines the dynamic processes by which
communities establish distinct notions of 'home' and
'belonging'. Focusing on the agency of diasporic groups, rather
than (forced or voluntary) dispersion and a continued longing
for the country of origin, it analyses how a diaspora presence
impacts relations between 'home' and host countries. Its
central concern is the specific role that diasporas play in
global cooperation, including cases without a successful
outcome. Bridging the divide between diaspora studies and
international relations, it will appeal to sociologists,
scholars of migration, anthropologists and
policy-makers.
