Diasporas and transnational communities

The term diaspora refers to a dispersion of people throughout the world. Diasporas are groups of people with a similar heritage or homeland who have moved out to places all over the world. Transnational communities are groups of people who maintain family, social, cultural or economic links across national borders. These groups have several identities, links, and competencies in more than one culture.

This topic includes  literature on transnationalism, diaspora politics, methodological nationalism, hybrid identities, and the relationship between globalization and migration.

Transnationalism as a Social Resource among Diaspora Communities

Principal investigator Ɩsten Wahlbeck (Principal Investigator), Peter Holley (Researcher), Saara Koikkalainen (Reasearcher), Sanna Saksela-Bergholm (Researcher), Mari Toivanen (Researcher)
Description
Research project funded by the Academy of Finland (no 295417). The project studies transnational ties and practices of immigrant and diaspora communities. It provides information about the processes whereby social resources can bridge the divide between migrantsā€™ new home countries and societies of origin. This project examines how social resources are mobilized as social or political action among members of diaspora communities both in the societies of settlement and departure. The case studies include Filipino migrants in Finland and their family members back home; second generation Kurds active in Kurdish diaspora organisations in Finland and France; and Finnish migrants in Western Europe and North America. The results provide information on the scope, nature and intensity of migrant communitiesā€™ transnational engagements in or towards Finland. It also sheds light on the structural factors that impede or facilitate the creation and maintenance of such engagements.
