Politics of Diaspora

Course content

The concept `Diaspora` has come a long way from its classical use and gained broader implications as an increasingly important non-state actor within the post-cold war context. This course aims to provide students with an analytical understanding of the role of diasporas, homelands, and host states with an emphasis on the interconnectedness of domestic and international politics. The course will also focus on the ethnic return migrations as the resulting phenomenon of the diaspora politics. The course will be held in the form of lectures and class discussions.
