Diaspora politics is of growing interest to International Relations (IR), yet theorizing about sending states’ engagement of diasporas in different global contexts has been minimal. Central to this article is the question: How do challenges to postconflict statehood shape a sending state’s diaspora engagement? I provide a fresh socio-spatial perspective on “diaspora positionality,” the power diaspora political agents amass or are perceived to amass from their linkages to different global contexts, which speaks to utilitarian, constructivist, and governance rationales, and to emerging IR relational and positional theories. This power is relative to that of other actors in a transnational social field, in which sending states and diasporas operate globally: it is socio-spatial, defined by social relationships among diasporas across the globe, and by their linkages to specific spatial contexts. I argue that postconflict states view the positional empowerment of diasporas in distant locations as an asset to their statebuilding. Diasporas are not controlled, but involved in extraterritorial processes through partially rationalized, partially implicit governance practices. The article focuses on Kosovo as a postconflict de facto state, and brings evidence from extensive multi-sited fieldwork in Kosovo in 2013, and the UK, US, Sweden, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland in 2009-2017.

派遣国和侨民在国际关系中的地位

散居海外的政治对国际关系(IR)的兴趣日益增长,但有关在不同的全球背景下派遣各州散居海外的人的理论却很少。本文的核心是一个问题:冲突后国家的挑战如何影响派遣国的侨民参与?我提供了关于“散居者地位”的新的社会空间观点,散居在外的政治势力从他们与不同全球背景的联系中聚集起来,或者被认为是聚集在这里,这说明了功利主义,建构主义和治理理论,以及新兴的国际关系和位置理论。这种权力与跨国社会领域中其他参与者的权力相对,在跨国社会领域中,派遣国和侨民在全球范围内运作:它是社会空间,由全球侨民之间的社会关系定义,以及它们与特定空间环境的联系。我认为,冲突后国家把散居在海外的侨民的地位授权视为其国家建设的资产。散居人口不受控制,但通过部分合理化,部分隐含的治理实践参与域外程序。本文重点介绍了科索沃是冲突后的事实上的国家,并从2013年在科索沃以及2009-2017年在英国,美国,瑞典,德国,法国,荷兰和瑞士进行的广泛的多地点实地考察中提供了证据。部分隐含的治理实践。本文重点介绍了科索沃是冲突后的事实上的国家,并从2013年在科索沃以及2009-2017年在英国,美国,瑞典,德国,法国,荷兰和瑞士进行的广泛的多地点实地考察中提供了证据。部分隐含的治理实践。本文重点介绍了科索沃是冲突后的事实上的国家,并从2013年在科索沃以及2009-2017年在英国,美国,瑞典,德国,法国,荷兰和瑞士进行的广泛的多地点实地考察中提供了证据。
