Abstract
How does the political context of a host-land influence the transnational mobilization of conflict-generated diasporas?1 This question is highly relevant in a globalized world where migrants are the economic, social and political link between different countries. But the question is still poorly understood by relevant streams of thought, such as transnational migration, conflict studies and foreign policy analysis. Migration studies traditionally focus on how migrants integrate into their respective societies, and more recently started to pay attention to their day-to-day activities across borders. Conflict and post-conflict studies have started to factor in the impact of diasporas on conflict and post-conflict processes, but have not yet understood how the context of receiving countries impacts on their transnational practices. Foreign policy studies have focused on how ethnic lobbies influence the foreign policy of a country, but remain embedded in a statist paradigm, avoiding a discussion on diaspora transnationalism. This chapter aims to integrate insights from these streams of thought.
