“…Nineteen OECD members, displayed in Table V, provide data from 2000 to 2009, the range of years covered by my dataset. I omit host states in which diaspora populations constitute less than .001% of the host population, identified using Global Bilateral Migration Data, to ensure valid socio-economic data exist on a viable subsocietal group (Ozden et al, 2011;Taylor et al, 2014). 7 Member-level integration data are not available, so I use measures of central tendency to alleviate the issue of varying levels of economic integration within diasporas.…”

Although diasporas often leave their homelands due to violence or political upheaval, these groups may engage in homeland politics by providing financial, material, or diplomatic assistance to militants engaged in civil conflicts. Conversely, diasporas may ignore homeland civil conflicts and exclusively focus on opportunities available in their host states. This study argues that variation in diasporas’ degree of integration into their host states influences whether diasporas support militants opposing homeland governments. Diaspora members may be dissimilated, which undermines their ability to consolidate resources in support of homeland militants, or incorporated, which limits their will to engage in homeland civil conflicts. Moderately integrated diasporas, which maintain identity ties with the homeland and have access to beneficial resources, are most likely to aid militants fighting homeland civil conflicts. Using original data, I test and find support for this integration-based theory.

“…The word keeps broadening through the years and different disciplines. In economics, the few who used diaspora made it synonymous to immigrants (Taylor et al 2014). Plaza and Ratha (2011) define diaspora as first generation immigrants, while Beine et al (2011) perceive diaspora as migration networks formed by first generation immigrants.…”

Purpose-Introduce a new field and suggest a new research agenda Findings-Diaspora economics is more than a new word for migration economics. It opens a new strand to political economy. Diaspora is perceived to be a well-defined group of migrants and their offspring with a joined cultural identity and ongoing identification with the country or culture of origin. This implies the potential to undermine the nation-state. Diasporas can shape policies in the host countries. Design/methodology/approach-Combine ethnicity, migration and international relations into a new thinking. Provide a typology of diaspora and a thorough evaluation of its role and the roles of the home and host countries. Originality/Value-Provide a new understanding of global human relations.
