In
the not so distant past, a person moving from one country to another
would not have had the opportunity to remain actively involved
or even informed of events in their home country. As a result,
the importance of diasporic communities for policy makers was
somewhat limited. Today, with the diminished saliency of the nation-state,
the impact of globalization and the growing numbers of populations
with dual or even supranational citizenship, this has changed.
Diasporic groups, capable of maintaining and investing in social,
economic and political networks that span the globe, are of increasing
relevancy and interest to policymakers. With this in mind, The
Croatian Centre for Strategic Studies hosted a Metropolis conference
entitled "Immigrants and Homeland" from May 9-12, 2002 in Dubrovnik,
Croatia. It explored the subject of diaspora from the points of
view of the homeland as well as the host country. |
