Over half the world lives under authoritarian regimes. For these
people, the opportunity to engage in politics moves outside the
state's territory. Mobilising across borders, diasporas emerge to
challenge such governments. This book offers an in-depth
examination of the internal politics of transnational mobilisation.
Studying Rwandan and Zimbabwean exiles, it exposes the power,
interests, and unexpected agendas behind mobilisation, revealing
the surprising and ambivalent role played by outsiders. Far from
being passive victims waiting for humanitarian assistance, refugees
engage actively in political struggle. From Rwandans resisting
their repatriation, to Zimbabweans preventing arms shipments,
political exiles have diverse aims and tactics. Conversely, the
governments they face also deploy a range of transnational
strategies, and those that purport to help them often do so with
hidden agendas. This shifting political landscape reveals the
centrality of transnationalism within global politics, the
historical and political contingency of diasporas, and the
precarious agency of refugees.
