KINSHIP AND DIASPOAS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

by Yossi Shain

"In the face of globalization, the War on Terror, and massive shifts in migration patterns, analysts and scholars are finally being forced to reckon with the limitations of the old territorial models of global politics. As these and other political and economic changes continue to defy national borders, interested readers owe it to themselves to appreciate the power of kinship and diaspora--two of the most powerful factors in transnational politics today."--Publisher's description.
