Increasing international migration, the information revolution and
democratization have propelled a globalization of the domestic
politics of many states and, although diasporic politics is not
new, emigrant political participation in homeland politics has
grown as well as adapted to the new methods of the information
revolution. This book examines the participation of emigrants in
their home country politics. It considers the consequences of such
participation for domestic and foreign policies in both host and
home country, and explores the theoretical implications for
democracy, nationalism, the state and the shape of world politics
in the future. It includes detailed case studies of Turkish
emigrants in Europe, the US and Saudi Arabia, Kurds in Europe,
Israeli emigrants and the American Jewish community, Mexicans in
the US, Chinese throughout the Pacific Rim, Indians in the US and
Russians who found themselves outside Russia when the Soviet Union
collapsed. By providing extensive documentation of emigrant
political activity with significant impact on homeland politics and
foreign policies, this work provides ammunition to the argument
that international migration, globalization and transnational
phenomena pose serious challenges to the state and the
international system of states. It will be of interest to
anthropologists, sociologists and area studies specialists as well
as political science and international relations scholars.
