Routledge International Handbook of Diaspora Diplomacy

By: Liam Kennedy

Book Overview

The Routledge International Handbook of Diaspora Diplomacy is a multidisciplinary collection of writings by leading scholars and practitioners from around the world. It reflects on the geopolitical and technological shifts that have led to the global emergence of this form of diplomacy and provides detailed examples of how governments, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and corporations are engaging diasporas as transnational agents of intervention and change.

The organization in six thematic parts provides for focused coverage of key issues, sectors and practices, while also building a comprehensive guide to the growing field. Each section features an introduction authored by the Editor, designed to provide useful contextual information and to highlight linkages between the chapters. Cross-disciplinary research and commentary is a key feature of the Handbook, providing diverse yet overlapping perspectives on diaspora diplomacy.

- Part 2: Diaspora Policies and Strategies
- Part 3: Diaspora Networks and Economic Development
- Part 4: Long-Distance Politics
- Part 5: Digital Diasporas, Media and Soft Power
- Part 6: Advancing Diaspora Diplomacy Studies

The Routledge International Handbook of Diaspora Diplomacy is a key reference point for study and future scholarship in this nascent field.
