About the Book

This book explores the complicated dynamics of the global diaspora and its central role in times of crisis. The chapters in this volume examine how diaspora communities, often scattered across different countries, become crucial actors in times of need in their home countries. Using a mix of real-life examples and academic analysis, the authors document how diasporas mobilise resources, influence policy and provide support in times of crisis such as natural disasters, economic downturns and political unrest. Written in an accessible style, this book offers the reader a compelling insight into the powerful influence of global diaspora networks. It illuminates the ways in which these communities bridge the gap between nations and offers a unique perspective on the interconnected world in which we live. Whether you are a student, policy maker, or simply curious about global affairs, this book will deepen your understanding of diaspora engagement in today's complex world. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of South Asian Diaspora.
