Involving the Diaspora for Development Present and Potential Contribution for Cooperation with SDC in the Case of Tunisia University of St.Gallen Master of Arts in International Affairs and Governance Master Thesis Involving the diaspora for development Present and potential contribution for cooperation with SDC in the case of Tunisia Supervisor: Urs Heierli, Ph. D. May 23, 2016 Andrea Courtin 08-603-219 Roterturmstrasse 11 7000 Chur [email protected] Andrea Courtin Involving the diaspora for development Abstract By transferring money, investing, founding philanthropic organizations or introducing new competences and ideas, diasporas can contribute to the development of their country of origin. Their contributions can support, complement or expand governmental development cooperation. This master thesis deals with the present and potential contribution of the Tunisian diaspora in Switzerland to the socio-economic development of Tunisia. It analyzes how the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC) is supporting these efforts and what could be done to further increase the impact on the development of Tunisia. This thesis first provide s a theoretical overview of the concepts of migration and development, defines the relevant terms and discusses the numerous ways these concept are influencing each other. A theoretical framework for the engagement of diasporas is presented. Then the situation in Switzerland and Tunisia regarding international migration is analyzed, with a particular focus on the Tunisian diaspora in Switzerland and its contributions to the development of its country of origin. Finally, the present commitment of the SDC for diaspora engagement in Tunisia is discussed.

    The Arab Uprisings and The Politics of Contention Beyond Borders: The Case of Egyptian Communiites in the United States’ Tamirace Fakhoury Mashriq & Mahjar: Journal of Middle East and North African Migration Studies, Volume 5, Number 1, 2018, (Article) Published by Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/778398/summary [ Access provided at 28 Sep 2021 17:10 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] © Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies 2018 72 Tamirace Fakhoury INTRODUCTION The field of transnational migrant activism I has generated important insights into the ways in which Arab communities around the world have used exilic spheres to transnationalize dissent and mobilize against their authoritarian homelands.' Still, migration scholars do not so far dispose of sufficient cross­ comparative data to assess the impact of Arab emigration waves on Arab political systems.' In 20ll, the anti-regime uprisings, which have spurred Arab communities abroad to participate in their homeland's affairs,4 provide exceptional terrain to study Arab transnational politics and their effects.' This article seeks to advance understanding of the participation of Arab migrant communities in the 2011 anti-regime uprisings and the interactive processes that impact their mobilization on the ground. Building on the 'iconic' Egyptian uprising that inspired contention in other Arab polities,' it draws on the case study of Egyptian communities in the United States and maps the transnational practices in which Egyptians in the US engaged to sustain political ties with Egypt in the period between 25 january and 11 February 2011 and its direct aftermath.

  • Plea for a Mobile Identity
    UC Berkeley TRANSIT Title Plea for a Mobile Identity Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8jd063wq Journal TRANSIT, 4(1) Author Loetscher, Hugo Publication Date 2008-11-26 DOI 10.5070/T741009729 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California I must confess I have my problems with identity, with the word as well as with the phenomenon. But there is no avoiding the debates about the concept. A few days after my birth a form was filled out confirming that I had been born in Switzerland of Swiss parents, which is why today I am considered a Swiss. And yet, when I was still a baby I was also brought to the church to be baptized. They told me that I cried, because of the cold water. I have another version: it was my first attempt at self-determination. I came by a religious and a national identity without being asked. By the time I was able to ask questions, the answers had already been given. Today I am no longer a reliably practicing Christian, but I am still a practicing Swiss, and have been for more than seven decades now. Being Swiss brings some advantages, for instance a passport. After World War II, in a Europe destroyed by war, it was quite comfortable to carry a Swiss passport when confronted with currency regulations and visas. The Swiss passport opened borders. Until one day I lost my illusions about my Swiss passport. It happened in the United States, where I was writer in residence at the USC in Los Angeles.

  • The Political Participation of the Diaspora of the Middle East And
    C Sarsar, C D’Hondt, MT Di Lenna, A al-Khulidi & S Taha ‘The political participation of the diaspora of the Middle East and North Africa before and after the Arab uprisings’ (2019) 3 Global Campus Human Rights Journal 52-75 https://doi.org/20.500.11825/995 The political participation of the diaspora of the Middle East and North Africa before and after the Arab uprisings Chafic Sarsar, Cedric D’Hondt, Maria Teresia Di Lenna, Ali al- Khulidi and Suhail Taha* Abstract: The role of the Arab diasporas in the political processes of their home countries has changed significantly since the 2011 uprisings. The article aims to analyse these changes and assess the impact that diasporas have had on the democratisation processes of the post-2011 transitions. It does so by looking at examples of both direct and indirect diasporas’ participation in the politics of their home countries during and after the uprisings through mechanisms such as lobbying, campaigning, national dialogue initiatives, and voting in the parliamentary elections. The background to the social, economic and political contributions of the Arab diasporas before 2011 highlights the multiple identities of the diaspora communities abroad as well as the changes to their inclusion from disputed members of the regimes’ opposition to a more active civil society. With the shifting social and political environment of the last decade, the examples demonstrate the important political role that diasporas could play in cooperation and bridge building, both locally and internationally. However, they also demonstrate the obstacles and severe limitations they face in their inclusion in the governments’ transition to democratic governance.

DRAFT ONLY: DO NOT CITE WITHOUT THE AUTHORS’ PERMISSION Abstract One of the hallmarks of the Arab Spring uprisings has been the role of social media in articulating demands of the popular protesters and broadcasting dramatic events as they unfolded, but it is less clear whether social media acted as a catalyst for many of the movements in the region. Using evidence from the popular protests in Tunisia between December 2010 and January 2011, this paper argues that social media acted as an important resource for popular mobilization against the regime of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Drawing on the insights from ‘resource mobilization theory’ (RMT), we show that social media (1) allowed a ‘digital elite’ to break the national media blackout through brokering information for mainstream media; (2) provided the basis for intergroup collaboration that facilitated a large ‘cycle of protest’ to develop; (3) overcame the collective action problem through reporting event magnitudes that raised the perception of success for potential free riders, and (4) led to an additional element of ‘emotional mobilization’ through depicting the worst atrocities associated with the regime’s response to the protests.
