Abstract:

Scholarship on transnationalism in International Relations has generally rested on a conflation of nation, state and territory. Consequently, it has tended to ignore the manner in which nationalism can form the basis of certain kinds of transnational networks that are also deeply embedded in circuits of capital. In this paper, I study a new form of transnational network that is being created by increasing interactions between states and their emigrant communities (“diasporas”). I argue that given the context of globalization and diminishing economic sovereignty, these forms of transnational networks have become increasingly visible and are the sites in and through which states try to re-inscribe their authority. I make this argument by focusing particularly on the dynamic relationship that has existed between the Indian state and the Indian diaspora since the emergence of the modern Indian nation-state in 1947.
