ABSTRACT
This chapter examines three multi-directional aspects of diaspora politics. First, it examines long-distance nationalism to show the ways in which this aspect of diaspora politics seeks to enlarge the space of political action. Second, the diaspora strategies of emigrant states are investigated in order to detail the ways in which they seek to create a new national subject and extra-territorial form of state power. Third, the chapter concludes by detailing the diaspora politics that seek to rethink the very notion of basing politics on the homeland as a site of origins and return.
