Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Diaspora involvement in civil war has been attracting increasing interest in political and social sciences. Especially in the literature on ?new wars? and on the ?economy of war? authors mention the diaspora as an influential actor. In this literature the diaspora is seen as a resource for armed groups and in this function as a prolonging factor of civil wars. Yet the existing literature also shows lacunae: the inner dynamic of the relation between diasporas and armed groups has hardly been addressed. Yet, it is the knowledge on mechanisms on the micropolitical level which is needed for all political efforts to end civil wars with diaspora involvement. The following paper seeks to provide answers to the question of how and under which circumstances a mobilization of the diaspora by armed groups is possible. The focal point of the analysis is on the financial side of the relationship. Drawing on theories of mobilization from social movement scholarship the presentation will highlight central mechanisms and structures of the mobilization process.
