Diaspora mobilisation for conflict and post-conflict reconstruction: contextual and comparative dimensions

This special issue seeks to move the scholarly conversation beyond notions of conflict-generated diasporas as simply agents of conflict or peace. The field is ripe to unpack the notion of context for diaspora mobilisation in International Relations, the focus and novelty of this special issue. Theorising in this volume goes beyond current prevalent thinking that contexts are host-states in which diasporas live, and original home-states to which they are transnationally connected. The emphasis here is that diasporas have linkages to different contexts, and that their embeddedness in these contexts -simultaneously or sequentially in time -either shapes their mobilizations or is shaped by them. The volume theorises about spatialities and temporalities of diaspora engagement: it emphasises spatial notions such as multi-sited embeddedness, positionality, and translocalism on the one side, and temporal notions such as critical junctures, transformative events, simultaneity, crises, and durability of conflicts on the other. This collection further adds new thematic areas to current scholarly inquiry, opening the discussion beyond interest in diaspora remittances, economic development, and extraterritorial voting. The authors take little-explored paths to examine diasporas as agents in transitional justice processes, contested sovereignty, and fragile and de facto states, as well as in civic and ethnic-based activism.

“…En ese sentido, es razonable pensar que el número de "desplazados inadvertidos" disminuya cuando los discursos expertos sobre desplazamiento puedan intensificarse o extenderse, pues todo hace indicar que ello es necesario para que las personas objetivamente desplazadas se identifiquen como tales. Por cierto, los expertos internacionales reconocen también que este es un problema que no atañe a país alguno en específico, sino que históricamente ha sido difícil hacer dialogar los discursos académicos y políticos sobre desplazamiento con las temáticas de derechos humanos (Duthie, 2011).…”

La diferencia es que ellas son desplazadas y yo soy víctima”: desplazamiento interno y agenda posconflicto en el Perú

<p>El Perú vivió un conflicto armado interno entre 1980 y 2000. Se calcula que esta etapa produjo alrededor de seiscientos mil desplazamientos internos; sin embargo, es también un tema relegado en el conjunto de prioridades de la agenda posconflicto peruana. Este artículo ofrece una explicación para tal paradoja. Se identifican seis factores que explican el relegamiento del desplazamiento en la agenda posconflicto: 1) menores probabilidades de identificarse con la afectación de desplazamiento que con afectaciones caracterizadas por ataques directos contra la integridad física; 2) un marco de sentido en el cual la idea de “víctima” (del conflicto armado) no incluye la figura del desplazado; 3) la naturaleza del concepto de desplazamiento, cuyos elementos definitorios destacan el contexto en el que este ocurre antes que relacionar a un agresor con una víctima; 4) la necesidad de un discurso experto sobre el desplazamiento como condición para activar procesos de identificación con esta categoría; 5) la historia de movilidad interregional previa al desplazamiento, que resta especificidad a esta experiencia; y 6) el tratamiento que hace la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación (CVR) sobre el desplazamiento. Esta argumentación ofrece dos aportes: 1) iniciar una discusión sobre la manera en que distintas afectaciones se relacionan y 2) mostrar límites de la agenda posconflicto poco explorados en la academia peruana.</p>

“…Even if war criminals are captured and tried and new institutions developed, numerous challenges remain. Transitional justice agents do not necessarily share the peacebuilding goals of humanitarian or development actors (Duthie 2011). Victims often prioritize acknowledgement and redress of suffering.…”

Diasporas and transitional justice: transnational activism from local to global levels of engagement

Scholarship on transitional justice, transnational social movements, and transnational diaspora mobilization has offered little understanding about how memorialization initiatives with substantial diaspora involvement emerge transnationally and are embedded and sustained in different contexts. We argue that diasporas play a galvanizing role in transnational interest-based and symbolic politics, expanding claim-making from the local to national, supranational, and global levels of engagement. Using initiatives to memorialize atrocities committed at the former Omarska concentration camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we identify a four-stage mobilization process. First, initiatives emerged and diffused across transnational networks after a local political opportunity opened in the homeland. Second, attempts at coordination of activities took place transnationally through an NGO. Third, initiatives were contextualized on the nation-state level in different host-states, depending on the political opportunities and constraints available there. Fourth, memorialization claims were eventually shifted from the national to the supranational and global levels. The article concludes by demonstrating the potential to apply the analysis to similar global movements in which diasporas are directly involved.
