A significant portion of the world’s
population consists of ethnic diasporas.
These are the dispersed, migrant, or (in some
cases) “overseas” communities which,
because they may claim a national homeland
not currently the one in which they are
domiciled, enjoy a status in the newer
homeland distinct from other “indigenous”
ethnic minorities. Varying in size, socioeconomic
standing, and also in the degree of
surviving cultural identity and group
cohesion, they differ enormously amongst
themselves in terms of both the character
and the importance of the roles they now
occupy in their adopted homelands. |

This book brings together a dozen
outstanding regional specialists to assess the
importance of overseas, migrant, or ‘diaspora’
ethnic minorities in the strategic
calculations of three Asian great powers –
India, China, and Russia. Drawing in part on
papers presented at the Asia-Pacific Center
for Security Studies in Honolulu, Hawaii, the
book provides both fresh descriptive data on
overseas ethnic minorities as well as
penetrating analyses of how these three
Asian giants seek to take advantage of the
diaspora phenomenon in their regional and global foreign policies. |
