Diasporic studies at the Berkeley Center for Globalization and Information Technology

In order to explain the specific nature of diasporic politics and to develop a theoretical framework to guide our analysis, a new research project will identify the transnational parameters that distinguish diasporic engagements from domestic politics and international relations. It will establish that diasporic politics partakes in both hostland and homeland politics, which provides it with a spatial basis of operation and mechanisms of political intervention.
