Context

What does the future hold for diaspora enga­ge­ment ? At a time where our present efforts are still focused on coping with the conti­nuing imme­diate and longer-terms impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, it appears critical to turn our atten­tion towards harnes­sing emer­ging oppor­tu­ni­ties and iden­ti­fying and miti­ga­ting future risks to be able to design effec­tive poten­tial responses and seek the contri­bu­tions of key actors.

The Future of Diasporas project was born out of the reali­za­tion that reflec­tions around diaspora enga­ge­ment all too often come down to States of play and lacked much-needed forward-looking vision. This publi­ca­tion contains 12 thought-provo­king articles written by global experts who have devoted their careers to better unders­tan­ding diaspora enga­ge­ment and crea­ting condi­tions for trans­na­tional commu­ni­ties to contri­bute to sustai­nable development.

The Future of Diaspora crys­ta­lizes successful colla­bo­ra­tion across disci­plines, areas of exper­tise and geogra­phic regions to shed light on the poten­tial of diasporas for deve­lop­ment and the need to keep inves­ting in and calling upon these commu­ni­ties, which have inva­luable poten­tial for both coun­tries of origin and residence.

During this event, the authors will present their insights on how they foresee diaspora enga­ge­ment in the next 10 to 20 years. The conver­sa­tion will focus on four key areas of diaspora enga­ge­ment directly related to the topics addressed in the 12 articles : (i) Diaspora policy ; (ii) Social capital, belon­ging, and diplo­macy ; (iii) Economic capital and entre­pre­neur­ship ; (iv) Human capital and innovation.
