Using the Greek diaspora as its central and recurring case study, the work examines how expatriate communities can mobilize to influence the foreign policies of both their host countries and their homelands. The essays explore the Greek-American lobby's impact on US policy towards Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus. This specific experience is then placed in a broader comparative perspective, with chapters analyzing the political activities of other major diasporic groups, including the Jewish, Armenian, and Cuban communities. The book serves as a foundational text in the study of diaspora politics and transnational relations. -- "Demonstrates the impact of diasporas on interstate relations, and forms some propositions regarding the conditions affecting the influence exerted by diasporas. Problems and dilemmas are reviewed, and a comparison is made of three archetypical diasporas: the Greek, the Jewish and the Armenian." -- Contents: Part I: Introduction 1 Diasporas in World Politics: An Introduction / Dimitri Constas & Athanassios Platias; Part II: The Greek Diaspora in Foreign Policy: A Case Study 2 Ethnicity and Foreign Policy: Greek-American Activism and the Turkish Arms Ban / Paul Watanabe; 3 The Reverse Influence Phenomenon: The Impact of the Greek-American Lobby on the Foreign Policy of Greece / Van Coufoudakis; 4 The Hellenic-American Community in Foreign Policy Considerations of the Motherland / Nicolaos A.
