Over half the world lives under authoritarian regimes. For these people, the opportunity to engage in politics moves outside the state's borders. This book offers the first in-depth examination of the internal politics of transnational mobilisation. Studying Rwandans and Zimbabweans, it exposes the power, interests, and unexpected agendas animating diaspora politics.
This book shows how diasporas are mobilised to challenge authoritarian governments - by whom, for what purposes, and with what consequences.
