Diasporas: Conflict and Peacebuilding

This class introduces students to the impact of diasporas on international relations in the 21st century. Students will look at diasporas as communities whose impact needs to be understood in the host country, in the homeland, and on the actual diaspora community simultaneously. Because of the ability of migration studies to intersect with development studies, international security, and peacebuilding, this course will adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the study of diasporic interactions.
