  • The saffron diaspora

    Open Access•Ferhat Cagri Aras, B Baser•ARTICLE•Globalizations•2026

    In line with the neoliberal trends in global politics, home states started showing more interest in harnessing their diasporas for economic, political and cultural benefits. For illiberal home states, diaspora communities also have emerged as strategic assets with which they project extraterritorial power, manage their emigrant communities and expand their ideological reach and political visions beyond borders. In the light of these debates, the …

  • Embedded diaspora diplomacy and inward-facing mobilization

    Betul Dogan‐Akkas, Betul Dogan Akkas et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Middle Eastern…•2026

    Türkiye has become a major crossroads for numerous diaspora communities, serving as a space of transnational mobility, refuge, and activism. Among these groups, the Yemeni community remains one of the least examined, despite its steady growth as a multifaceted group. Due to the civil conflict that began in 2014, many Yemenis have left the country, and temporarily or permanently settled abroad. This study seeks to widen the lens of diaspora schola…

  • Voices across borders

    Open Access•Lucia Ardovini, B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2026•Citada por: 10•Referências: 57

    This Special Issue brings together scholars working on transnational diaspora activism and transnational repression. As diasporas have increasingly become powerful political actors and transnational agents of intervention and change, authoritarian states have continued to expand their mechanism of control and repression across borders. Centring the voices and experiences of those engaged in – and subjected to - these dynamics, the Special Issue f…

  • Neither from within nor from without

    Open Access•Élise Féron, B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2026•Citada por: 5•Referências: 56

    Diasporas and their transnational ties to their homelands and various other networks raise heightened suspicion in their countries of residence. Diasporas are perceived as non-state actors that form transnational and non-transparent ties with their homelands, foster long-distance nationalism, and create potential dual loyalties. Moreover, they are perceived as a potential source of tension due to the possibility of transporting homeland conflicts…

  • Diaspora Exclusion in Divided Home States

    Open Access•James Grossman, Gözde Böcü et al.•ARTICLE•Alternatives Global Local Political•2025•Citada por: 3•Referências: 23

    This article examines how home states define and redefine membership within ‘their’ diaspora and how certain groups and individuals are excluded from this conception through discourse, policy and practice. We argue that ontological security, or the state’s need for a stable sense of identity, coherence and continuity, involves a consistent narrative about belonging that is directed at emigrants and their descendants and shapes how states interact…

  • Introduction Turkey and Africa

    Open Access•ELEM EYRİCE TEPECİKLİOĞLU, François Vreÿ et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Balkan and Near…•2024

    Turkey's presence in Africa has experienced significant growth over the last two decades. In recent years, Turkey's expanding African outreach has transformed media narratives and generated a surge of scholarly studies on Turkey's involvement in Africa. Turkey's renewed focus on the continent and its commitment to establishing an equal partnership with African nations came after years of neglect. Previously, Turkey's relationship with African cou…

  • (In)visible Spaces and Tactics of Transnational Engagement

    Open Access•B Baser, Ann-Catrin Emanuelsson et al.•CHAPTER•Kurdish Studies Archive•2024

    The Kurdish diaspora has been transnationally active and efficient in terms of raising awareness of the plight of the Kurds in Europe and elsewhere. However, there is a clear need to situate the current analysis of the diaspora in the context of rapidly changing political landscapes that includes both local and global power relations conditioning the diaspora’s transnational participation, political mobilisation and action. This special issue con…

  • Inherited traumas in diaspora

    Open Access•B Baser, Mari Toivanen•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2024•Citada por: 12•Referências: 52

    This article examines the way in which conflict-generated diasporas pass on collective memories of a violent past onto the next generation. It contributes to uncovering the intergenerational memory transmission patterns in the diaspora by examining how new generations inherit the experiences of a violent past from their parents and mobilise and demobilise around issues concerning such past. By focusing on the Kurdish diaspora as a case study, the…

  • Youth responses to state-manufactured diaspora mobilization

    Open Access•Gözde Böcü, B Baser•ARTICLE•Globalizations•2024•Citada por: 5•Referências: 8

    Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has implemented transnational policies to strengthen ties among diaspora youth in Europe with Turkey. However, these policies have been highly selective and geared towards regime-loyal groups in the diaspora. This article focuses on the group-level dynamics of AKP’s transnational youth outreach and examines the responses of dissident youth in the diaspora to these policies. We argue that there i…

  • Pathways to Conflict Transportation and Autonomisation

    Open Access•Élise Féron, B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnopolitics•2023•Citada por: 6•Referências: 13

    Since its inception the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has generated multiple narratives in the region itself, in Armenia and Azerbaijan, and in the concerned diasporas. The war that occurred in 2020 engendered high levels of diasporic mobilisation, but interestingly the discourses of Armenian diaspora activists largely differed from those of Armenia or Nagorno-Karabakh. Drawing from theories of conflict transportation and autonomisation in diaspora s…

  • Collective Memory in Post-Genocide Societies

    Open Access•Hawraman Fariq Karim, B Baser•ARTICLE•Review of Middle East Studies•2022

    This article investigates the collective memory that occurred as a result of the chemical attack on Halabja, on March 16, 1988. In light of discussions that deal with memory and reconciliation in post-genocide societies, we look at how collective memory and “postmemory” are formed among the survivors and their descendants. The merit of the article is that it brings together the victim's accounts and creates a bottom-up perspective that challenges…

  • Revisiting Legacies of Anfal and Reconsidering Genocide in the Middle East Today

    Open Access•Ibrahim Sadiq, B Baser et al.•ARTICLE•Review of Middle East Studies•2022

    Since the end of World War I, the people of the Middle East have lived – from Turkey to Iraq – in a world created by Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George, and Georges Clemenceau. From the outset, the victorious powers of the War, especially Wilson, paid lip service to the principle of self-determination in addressing various nationalities, but they soon realized this great principle can be a double-edged sword whose use could cost them dearly – in …

  • Turkey’s State Crisis

    B Baser•ARTICLE•Bustan The Middle East Book Review•2022

    Turkish politics has constituted a puzzle for experts, journalists, policy makers, and academics since its foundation. The country is part of the Middle East but occupies a unique geographic position and therefore is an undeniable part of European history and politics as well. It is not possible to apply theoretical understandings of colonial politics to the Turkish case as we do for cases such as Iraq and Egypt. It also is not possible to simply…

  • From Exit to Voice

    Open Access•B Baser, Ahmet Erdi Öztürk•ARTICLE•Middle East Critique•2022•Citada por: 3•Referências: 15

    The authoritarian turn in Turkey compelled many citizens to change life trajectories which included extreme measures such as migration and exile. Thousands of people left Turkey in the last decade, this recent wave constituting one of the largest Turkish migrations to Europe and beyond. The profile of the migrants included those who were comfortable with and/or opposed the current regime's political and social policies, members of oppressed minor…

  • Transnational Mobilization of Future Generations by Non-Democratic Home States

    Open Access•Gözde Böcü, B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnopolitics•2022•Citada por: 4•Referências: 36

    While many aspects of state-diaspora relations have been explored, the role that youth play in state-led diaspora outreach remains under-researched in the literature. Democratic and non-democratic states alike, however, actively target diaspora youth for a variety of reasons. In this article, we explore how and why a non-democratic state like Turkey engages with its perceived diaspora youth by focusing on the AKP regimes’ recent engagement within…

The country’s use of religion as a political tool …

  • Host state reactions to home state diaspora engagement policies

    During the last few decades, institutions, policies, and other state-sponsored mechanisms linking home states and diasporas have expanded well beyond traditional areas. Numerous states have established diaspora engagement policies and institutions to tap diaspora resources and maximize their political, economic, and cultural interests. Previous research largely focused on these policies' motivations and their impact on diasporas, with little atte…

  • Once A Diaspora, Always A Diaspora? The Ethnic, Cultural and Political Mobilization of Kurdistani Jews in Israel

    Open Access•B Baser, Duygu Atlas•ARTICLE•Politics Religion & Ideology•2021•Citada por: 1

    This paper examines the experiences of Kurdistani Jews who were airlifted to Israel from Iraq in the early 1950s with the Operations Ezra and Nehemiah. The article seeks to answer questions regarding what transnational ties Kurdistani Jews have with their former homeland in Iraq, how their ethnic, cultural, and political mobilization transpires in Israel, and whether the Kurdistani Jewish community in Israel may be considered a diaspora. The arti…

    In this article, we examine the dynamics of the Kurdish-Turkish peace process that collapsed in the summer of 2015. The negotiations began when the conflict reached a certain level of ripeness, one that made it possible for both sides to entertain the possibility of compromise on various taboo issues. However, in the face of both domestic and international developments, the process came to an abrupt halt. This article argues that the main reason …

    On 11 January 2016, 1128 academics in Turkey and abroad signed a petition calling on Turkish authorities to cease state violence in mainly Kurdish populated areas of the country, which had been under curfew and an extended state of emergency. The petition received an immediate reaction from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who accused the signatories of treason and terrorist propaganda. He subsequently demanded that public prosecuters launch an in…

  • Positive and Negative Diaspora Governance in Context

    B Baser, Ahmet Erdi Öztürk•ARTICLE•Middle East Critique•2020•Citada por: 25•Referências: 15

    The diaspora studies literature recently has indicated an expansion in state-led diaspora engagement initiatives and burgeoning diaspora governance institutions around the world. Home states have correlated concepts such as public diplomacy and soft power with these nascent incentives to cultivate and mobilize diasporas for state interests. Despite the interpretation of these developments as the expansion of citizenship rights for the diaspora an…

    This article looks at the dynamics of Diaspora groups as a possible catalyst for peace-building within violent segmented societies. With the help of two case studies, Irish-America's role in Northern Ireland and Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora's role in Sri Lanka, it locates the variable impacts of Diaspora involvement in violent conflicts within their homelands. Despite their unique histories and individual complexity, both of these cases illustrate t…

  • The Awakening of a Latent Diaspora

    B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnopolitics•2014•Citada por: 19•Referências: 3

    This paper explores how political developments in a host country catalyse the awakening of a latent diaspora and lead to the activation of a transnational community that previously consisted of loose and scattered networks. It also draws attention to the generational continuation of identity politics in a diaspora context through analysing a second generation's abrupt interest in homeland politics. By using the Turkish community in Sweden as a ca…

  • Politicized and depoliticized ethnicities, power relations and temporality

    B Baser, Mari Toivanen•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2018•Citada por: 14•Referências: 11

    The insider and outsider positions in migration studies have conventionally been approached in terms of ethnic or national belonging. Recently scholars have problematized the essentialist approaches to these roles by arguing for the inclusion of multiple intersecting social locations that are at play in the constitution of researcher positionality. Less attention has been paid, however, on how different ethnicities are constructed and how they ca…

    Using the case study of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and the 2017 independence referendum, this article examines the nexus between independence referendums, nationalism and political power. It argues that the referendum in the KRI was held due to internal political competition and growing rebellion from the population against the poor economic performance and political situation rather than because the time was right for independence refere…

    Diasporas engage in a variety of practices and activities to commemorate past massacres and genocides that might have led to the formation of the diaspora in the first place. In this process, certain massacres can be constructed as the “chosen trauma” and consequently become a central element in commemoration practices and identity formation. In this paper, we discuss genocide memorialization in the context of the Iraqi Kurdish diaspora in Europe…

In the context of a pending referendum on independence in the KRI, this study investigates the evolution of GRP in relation to secession, nation-building and commemoration as well as the social, political and economic drivers in the process. In addition, the…

  • Tailoring Strategies According to Ever-Changing Dynamics

    B Baser•ARTICLE•Terrorism and Political Violence•2017•Citada por: 4

    Germany might be considered as the European country that has suffered the most from the spatial diffusion of Turkey's internal conflicts. It has received the highest number of Kurdish migrants in Europe and it became the core of Kurdish mobilization in transnational space. Germany's approach to the Kurdish Question on its own soil—combined with the strategies that the Kurdish activists used—determined the scope of opportunity structures for the m…

  • Mobilizing Diasporas

    Zeynep Sahin Mencutek, B Baser•ARTICLE•Journal of Balkan and Near…•2018

    Expansion in state‒diaspora relations in recent decades has led to academic research questioning when, why and how sending states develop diaspora policies in order to re-connect with their citizens abroad. Turkey, which has one of the highest rates of emigration in the world, is a particularly important case study in terms of illustrating a turn in the way it perceives its citizens abroad as a diaspora. When the AKP (Justice and Development Part…

  • Communal violence and ethnic polarization before and after the 2015 elections in Turkey

    Flannery O''Connor, Francis O’connor et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Southeast European and…•2018

    Given its duration and intensity, the decades-old civil war in Turkey between the Turkish state and the PKK has resulted in relatively low levels of lethal inter-communal conflict between Kurdish and Turkish populations. However, around the June 2015 elections an unprecedented wave of systematic anti-Kurdish violence swept across western Turkey. The paper will assess these events in relation to literature on communal riots and electoral violence.…

  • Engaging Diasporas in Development and State-Building

    B Baser•ARTICLE•Ethnopolitics•2018•Citada por: 3•Referências: 10

    Diasporas can play an important part in contemporary social processes, either via remittances, investment, skills transfer, diaspora philanthropy or political influence. Currently, many states establish diaspora ministries or sub-committees under existing institutions to connect with their diaspora and tap their resources for development in the homeland. This paper contributes to this literature on the diaspora-homeland nexus by focusing on the I…

    In 2012, a group of academics in Turkey launched an initiative called the Academics for Peace (AfP). Its foundation coincided with a hunger strike announced by Kurdish prisoners to call attention to a range of unresolved issues surrounding the Turkish–Kurdish conflict in Turkey. The group’s first petition—signed in 2012 by around 300 academics from 50 different universities—marked the beginning of a series of interventions by academics to promote…

  • Politicized and depoliticized ethnicities, power relations and temporality

    B Baser, Mari Toivanen•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2018•Citada por: 14•Referências: 11

    The insider and outsider positions in migration studies have conventionally been approached in terms of ethnic or national belonging. Recently scholars have problematized the essentialist approaches to these roles by arguing for the inclusion of multiple intersecting social locations that are at play in the constitution of researcher positionality. Less attention has been paid, however, on how different ethnicities are constructed and how they ca…

  • Remembering the Past in Diasporic Spaces

    Mari Toivanen, B Baser•ARTICLE•Genocide Studies International•2019•Citada por: 8•Referências: 15

    Diasporas engage in a variety of practices and activities to commemorate past massacres and genocides that might have led to the formation of the diaspora in the first place. In this process, certain massacres can be constructed as the “chosen trauma” and consequently become a central element in commemoration practices and identity formation. In this paper, we discuss genocide memorialization in the context of the Iraqi Kurdish diaspora in Europe…
