“In the face of the rise of nativist and populist movements around the world, the Routledge International Handbook of Diaspora Diplomacy fills a critical vacuum in the literature by high- lighting the multifaceted, complex, and critical role of diasporas in international diplomacy and politics.” — Amelia Arsenault “The Routledge International Handbook of Diaspora Diplomacy represents a path-breaking reconnaissance-in-strength into an emerging and increasingly important dimension of international and transnational relations.” —Paul Sharp, Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota Duluth ROUTLEDGE INTERNATIONAL HANDBOOK OF DIASPORA DIPLOMACY The Routledge International Handbook of Diaspora Diplomacy is a multidisciplinary collection of writings by leading scholars and practitioners from around the world. It reflects on the geo- political and technological shifts that have led to the global emergence of this form of diplo- macy and provides detailed examples of how governments, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and corporations are engaging diasporas as transnational agents of intervention and change. The organization in six thematic parts provides for focused coverage of key issues, sectors and practices, while also building a comprehensive guide to the growing field. Each section features an introduction authored by the Editor, designed to provide useful contextual in- formation and to highlight linkages between the chapters. Cross-disciplinary research and commentary is a key feature of the Handbook, providing diverse yet overlapping perspec- tives on diaspora diplomacy. • Part 1: Mapping Diaspora Diplomacy • Part 2: Diaspora Policies and Strategies • Part 3: Diaspora Networks and Economic Development • Part 4: Long-Distance Politics • Part 5: Digital Diasporas, Media and Soft Power • Part 6: Advancing Diaspora Diplomacy Studies The Routledge International Handbook of Diaspora Diplomacy is a key reference point for study and future scholarship in this nascent field.
