Description
This roundtable brings together a diverse range of scholars with multidisciplinary expertise to consider the contemporary state of discourse on different aspects of Transnational Repression and the impact on diaspora. Given the growing relevance of diaspora for transnational political dynamics, the roundtable participants will share insights from their work on what directions of scholarly enquiry and policy actions are necessary to address the threats posed by transnational repression to human rights, rule of law, and democracy. The participants in the panel have a record of work that engages with themes including the following: full spectrum of Transnational Repression tactics practised in different cases, links between global and domestic politics, authoritarian strategies and legitimacy, collective resistance against repression and injustice, rights of political exiles, human rights and mobility, contentious politics in the diaspora, identities across borders, and policies to counter Transnational Repression.
