Diaspora Conflicts: A Literature review

Rhythm

Abstract :

In recent years, the diaspora – peace – conflict nexus has developed into an area of key research interest, particularly within conflict – and diaspora studies. This is an emerging field of study, but one which remains largely underdeveloped. We systemically collected empirical data, in–depth analysis on the dynamics of diasporas and the nature of the conflict in the country of origin and theoretical conceptualisations that could explain the complexity of the field. Those studies were included which focused on diasporic literature in relation to its peace and conflict nexus. Studies related to diasporic fiction, historical evolution of diaspora and Exile Literature of diaspora were excluded. The authors concluded that it is important to define the level of analysis, whether at the individual, societal or organisational level and to look at how these levels interact. The DIASPEACE project will therefore concentrate on the transnational activities of diaspora groups, with a focus on collective actions.
