“…Arī emigrējušo dāņu tendence atgriezties Dānijā ir bijis viens no galvenajiem iemesliem, kāpēc dāņu emigrācija līdz nesenam laikam bijusi tālu no prioritātēm Dānijas politiskajā darba kārtībā. Dati liecina, ka desmit gadu laikā pēc došanās uz ārzemēm aptuveni 70-80 % dāņu atgriežas valstī (Birka & Kļaviņš, 2019).…”

“…Salīdzinājumā ar Baltijas valstu diasporas politiku, kas joprojām lielā mērā koncentrējas uz valodu, kultūru un uz identitātes uzturēšanu, dāņu diasporas politikas iniciatīvas ir izteikti orientētas uz to, kā diasporas resursus varētu izmantot izaugsmei, internacionalizācijai un eksportam. Dānijas piemērs liecina, ka sabiedriski ekonomiskās sadarbības potenciāls ar augsti kvalificētu diasporu, kas ir guvusi zināšanas, resursus un sakarus ārvalstīs, bet saglabā interesi par izcelsmes valsti, padara diasporas diplomātiju par pievilcīgu politikas instrumentu ne vien attīstības valstīs, bet arī attīstītajās valstīs (Birka & Kļaviņš, 2019).…”

“…Lai gan Dānijā nav oficiāli formulēta diasporas politikas tiesiskā vai rīcībpolitikas ietvara, diasporas sadarbības iniciatīvas tiek balstītas pamatā "uz pieprasījumu" tā, lai atbilstu konkrētu partneru reālām vajadzībām. Pētījumos uzsvērts, ka Dānija uz Ziemeļvalstu fona izceļas ar to, kā tā strādā pie diasporas diplomātijas optimizēšanas un īstenošanas -cieši sadarbojoties ar diasporas organizācijām un interešu grupām, lai veidotu sistemātiskas attiecības un apzinātu abpusēji izdevīgu sadarbību (Birka & Kļaviņš, 2019) Dānijas valdība arī aktīvi iniciē Eiropas Savienības personāla atlases sistēmas pilnveidojumus, lai ģeogrāfiskās pārstāvības izaicinājumus risinātu ne vien no tā sauktā "piedāvājuma" puses pašu mājās, bet arī no "pieprasījuma" puses jeb Eiropas Savienībā strukturāli. Dānija līdz ar citu līdzīgi domājošu dalībvalstu grupu (Īrija, Čehija, Austrija, Somija, Francija, Vācija, Luksemburga, Nīderlande, Portugāle, Zviedrija) 2018. gadā iesniegusi priekšlikumus Eiropas Savienības personāla atlases sistēmas izmaiņām (Nīderlandes Karalistes pastāvīgā pārstāvniecība Eiropas Savienībā, 2019).…”

Latvijas Universitātes Diasporas un migrācijas pētījumu centrs sadarbībā ar Latvijas Republikas Ārlietu ministriju veica apjomīgu pētījumu par starptautiskās organizācijās strādājošo Latvijas profesionāļu gatavību iesaistīties ciešākā un sistemātiskākā sadarbībā ar valsti. Starptautiskās attiecības vairs nav tikai valdību monopols, to veidošanā iesaistās plašs ieinteresēto pušu loks. Arī starptautiskās organizācijās strādājoši profesionāļi var iesaistīties, piemēram, palīdzot izcelsmes valstij izprast aktualitātes savā mītnes valstī, skaidrojot savas izcelsmes valsts situāciju un daudzos citos veidos. Pētījumā tika aicināti piedalīties diasporas profesionāļi, kas strādā starpvaldību organizācijās (ANO, NATO, EDSO, ESAO, Eiropas Savienības, Eiropas Padomes), to institūcijās, aģentūrās un citās to sistēmām piederīgās organizācijās, kā arī starptautiskās nevalstiskajās organizācijās (cilvēktiesību, dabas aizsardzības un citās jomās). Aptaujā viedokli izteica gan administratīvie speciālisti, ierēdņi un eksperti, gan vadošā līmeņa amatpersonas. Aptauja norisinājās līdz 2022. gada 7. jūlijam.

“…Diaspora diplomacy is well known as the use of Foreign Service, or other branches of government, to endorse the systematic relationship, for mutual benefit, between the country of origin, diaspora groups in the nation of residence, and the various interest associations in both the country of origin and country of residence (Birka & Kļaviņš, 2020). As the trend of migration of people from one nation to another is ever increasing, the government of the country of origin has established different legal and institutional mechanisms to get connected with their diasporas in different countries.…”

Diaspora Diplomacy: Emerging Priority of Nepal’s Foreign Policy

Many people from Nepal are currently living in foreign countries. Their living has become a prominent issue in foreign policy and international relations as it has a broader impact on the bilateral connection between Nepal and the host countries as well as in the development back home. Appropriately mobilizing diverse potential inheritance in the Nepali diaspora can be a real boon for Nepal in achieving the national goals. The government is working on that by devising various policies, but the results are not satisfactory. Rigorous homework is yet to be done at the policy-making level to maximize achievements through the effective conduction of diaspora diplomacy. Hence, shedding light on the broader perspective of the Nepali diaspora, this paper attempts to focus on their role in the social, economic and cultural development of Nepal. The new institutional and policy arrangements that policymakers should adopt in upcoming days to address diaspora needs and to maintain a balanced relation between the government and Nepali community residing outside the border are also discussed. The article is descriptive and analytical in format, and the data are collected from secondary sources.

“…The ability to form the "whole-of-government approach" in foreign affairs by promoting the co-operation of all administrative institutions in the achievement of common political objectives is regarded as the essential factor in the modern-ization of the work of MFAs (Hocking et al 2012). More attention is paid to the use of action policy instruments in practice and work outside the central body: for example, the creation of co-operation with diasporas and activities of commercial diplomacy (Birka/Kļaviņš 2020). By responding to varied agenda issues, more and more specialists are being employed in MFAs alongside diplomats of a classical type.…”

Cover layout: Kordula Röckenhaus, Bielefeld Cover illustration: James Gillray, ʻThe Plumb-pudding in danger, or, State epicures taking un petit souper' (1805), public domain. 'World Politics as Competition': Norms and StructuresThis short conceptual history of competition as both a normative ideal and an analytical category shows that there is a much richer tradition of thinking about competition than the conventional IR literature assumes. Drawing on this brief account, we now turn to a more extended definition of what we understand to be a configuration of world politics in which competition is central. This, we argue, will possess both normative and structural features.A configuration of world politics in which competition is viewed to be central is in the first instance a world of notionally equal, sovereign states-even if, in practice, the key participants in international competition are a select group of "great powers" (Müller 2020). These share a common set of cultural expectations, and means of communication, that enable mutual observation and compari-'Competition' became a central concept in international theory in the late 1940s, when Hans Morgenthau distinguished two constellations of the balance of power -the "pattern of direct opposition" and the "pattern of competition"-in his first version of Politics Among Nations (Morgenthau 1948: 131-133). The Simmel-style "pattern of competition" describes a triadic structure, in which two imperialist powers compete in their domination of a third, smaller power. In the face of the Korean war, Morgenthau dedicated in subsequent editions an entire subsection to it, thus enhancing its status as a theoretical concept (Morgenthau 1954: 162-165) From this point on, students of international relations could relate the balance of power to competition by merely glimpsing at a classic's table of contents. However, Morgenthau's concept of competition and opposition are not as structuralist as his famous metaphor of billiard balls suggest. In fact, the "patterns" are a way to systemize the ways in which the balance of power can be sustained or disturbed; within these constellations, there can as well not be competition (Wendt 1992: 395-396; Little 2007: 93).Daniela Russ & James Stafford attention to both the symbolic and material dimensions of domination and struggle within world politics (Mérand/Pouliot 2008: 609). According to Bourdieu, fields are configurations of objective relations between positions (Bourdieu/Wacquant 1992: 97). These relations are always changing: "As a space of potential and active forces, the field is also a field of struggles aimed at preserving or transforming the configuration of these forces" (ibid: 101). The field concept conceives of international politics as a "competitive realm" as Waltz had done, but without making it into an ahistorical structure: the positions, borders, capitals and rules of the field are subject to the field's struggle (ibid: 99-100).Political scientists and sociologists began to diagnose "competition states" in the g...
