This book is an interdisciplinary examination of several
interconnecting aspects of migrant communities in the context of
contemporary conflict and security. It aims to illustrate how the
diversity of migrant populations cross-cuts political, cultural,
social and economic spheres of activity. The book builds a
connected picture of contemporary migrants/diasporas that reflects
the fact that they exist within, and help to construct, an
integrated and multi-layered political, social, cultural and
economic mileau. While empirically focused studies are often
case-specific and, while rich in local detail, lack comparative
breadth or the ability to make connections and see irregularities
across a number of cases that might be of interest to scholars
beyond that specific area. This work intends to connect these
literatures together more thoroughly. In particular, it seeks to
demonstrate that political, cultural, economic and social factors
all play important roles in helping us understand the actual (and
potential) roles of migrant communities in conflict and security
within contemporary society. The book has a thematic structure,
with multiple case studies being used throughout the text,
including the Palestinian, Sri Lankan, Irish and Somali diaspora
communities. London will be used as a site for primary data
collection, due to its multi-ethnic character and the vibrancy of
its diaspora communities. A series of interviews will be carried
out in London among several migrant communities to provide
qualitative evidence linked to the central arguments within the
book concerning the impact of globalisation and the new security
environment on patterns of association at both political and
cultural levels. This book will be of much interest to students of
migration and diaspora communities, peace and conflict studies,
security studies and ethnic conflict.
