Using a Role Theory lens, this book investigates Tamil diaspora
mass movements and interest groups as marginalised forces of
domestic foreign policy influence. Until now Role Theory has not
considered diaspora mass movements as collective action actors, nor
looked at how marginalised diasporas influence elite foreign policy
decision-making. Matthew K. Godwin employs a comparative,
micro-level decision-making narrative that looks incisively at
decisions faced by the British and Canadian governments in 2009 and
2013 towards the Sri Lankan civil war and its aftermath. Through
qualitative, elite-level interviews and content analysis of other
primary source data, Godwin convincingly argues that when diaspora
interest group elites are leveraging the power of mass movements in
concert with credible partisan advocates, they can influence role
contestation. However, international institutional constraints on
role behaviour may stymie their preferred role performance,
especially if states are indispensable to the institutions their
behaviour may unravel. Ultimately, Godwin concludes that some
states can't behave "badly," even when they want to. This book will
be of interest to students and researchers of lnternational
Relations, Foreign Policy Analysis, Comparative Politics, Migration
Studies and to non-government organisations who seek to influence
governments.
