Transnational Migration, Politics and Conflict

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
International Migration, Transnational Politics and Conflict

Part of the book series: Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship ((MDC))

Abstract

In this chapter, Bermudez revises the literature on transnational migration and diasporas, and migrant political participation and diaspora involvement in conflicts and peace efforts in home countries, from a gendered and an intersectional perspective. This review helps identify progress and gaps in knowledge, as well as key concepts and approaches for her research. The author’s own theoretical framework incorporates a wide definition of transnational migrant politics, including both ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ politics, and takes into consideration ‘immigrant’, ‘homeland’ and ‘diaspora’ politics. This is applied to the study of recent Colombian migration to Europe, integrating the micro, meso and macro levels and taking into account transnationalism from ‘below’ and ‘above’. Another key concept used is that of migrants’ ‘political capital’, which helps bring forward migrant agency.
