Summary/Abstract: Castles and Miller explain the character of the international as a part of a “transnational revolution that is reshaping societies and politics around the globe” (1998: 5). Diaspora communities which form as the direct result of the international migration process constitute a driving force for restructuring world politics. Transnational activities of diaspora members change the meaning of local and global; and conflicts no longer stay in their national border but reach the international arena.
