Ask What You Can Do For Your (New) Country : How Host States Use Diasporas

Ask What You Can Do for Your (New) Country focuses on a previously unexamined phenomenon: when, how and for what reasons host states use diasporas and the ethnic lobbies they generate to advance foreign policy goals. Nadejda K Marinova develops a theoretical model for determing the conditions under which a host state will decide to promote and utilize an ethnic lobby, and she tests it against eight cases, delving into the multiple avenues in which it takes place, across a variety of regimes and political, security and commercial matters.
