Transnationalism and Diaspora

Transnationalism refers to the ways in which people, ideas, and goods move across national borders, creating connections that span multiple countries. In contrast, a diaspora is a group of people who have migrated from their homeland, maintaining ties to it while integrating into their new societies. In diplomatic geography, these concepts highlight how countries interact through their dispersed populations and the shared cultural, economic, and political relationships that emerge. This interplay can influence foreign policy, trade, and international diplomacy, as nations navigate the interests and identities of their citizens living abroad.
