Edinburgh Studies on Diasporas and Transnationalism
Content:
Presents groundbreaking research on transnational repression and its effects on diasporas and dissidents in the 21st centuryPresents cutting-edge research by leading experts across political science, sociology, law, digital and area studies on transnational repressionOffers detailed case studies analysis from 10 countries around the world, including Russia, China, Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, Eritrea and Italy Demonstrates how authoritarian states engage in transnational repression and how such practices affect exiled citizens' rights and their freedoms across the worldProvides recommendations and best practices for scholars, institutions and human rights advocates to better defend diaspora communities and democracies from authoritarian transnational repressionBringing together leading scholars, this volume is the first of its kind to address the growing global phenomenon of transnational repression in a comparative perspective. Authoritarian regimes in places like China, Russia and Saudi Arabia are infamous for cracking down on domestic opposition movements and democracy activists at home. And, in our age of globalisation, migration and technological development, dictators are increasingly able to extend their authoritarian power over their critics abroad. Using tactics that include surveillance, coercion, harassment and physical violence, transnational repression threatens the lives of democracy defenders, the basic rights of diaspora members and the rule of law in host states
