SUMMARY:The Politics of Engagement: Southeast Asian Diasporas in Relation to Home Countries (1)
LOCATION:Room 1.204
DESCRIPTION:Diasporas originating from Southeast Asian countries form one o
 f the largest mobile communities in the contemporary world, with the Filipi
 no diaspora numbering at least 11 million, and the Vietnamese diaspora 4 mi
 llion. While the phenomenon of migrant engagement in activities directed to
 wards countries of origins have been long discussed in migration studies, t
 he ongoing processes of transnationalization of migrant communities (Portes
 , Guarnizo, Landolt 1999), facilitated by the development of instant commun
 ication and digital platforms, provide a novel area for investigation. In o
 ur panel we would like to address the following question: how are the more 
 ‘traditional’ areas of diasporic engagement addressed in the digital era?\n
 \nBy ‘traditional’ areas of diaspora activity, we mean:\n\n- political acti
 vism, commonly directed towards changing the status quo in the country of o
 rigin (pro-democratic movement),\n- economic engagement, involving a broad 
 range of phenomena, such as investments and transnational entrepreneurship,
 \n- social activism, of various degrees of institutionalization (from tradi
 tional “hometown associations” to development initiatives and digital activ
 ism).\n\nIn our panel we engage with presentations which focus on the above
 -mentioned phenomena, especially from a transnational or diasporic perspect
 ive, and are both research-informed and embedded in the theoretical perspec
 tive.
