Abstract

This book explains the transformation of the nation into a cosmonation (or multisite nation) through the reunification of the homeland with its diaspora. The book elaborates on how the mechanisms of linkages, connections, and networking interact to form distributed sites of homeland and diaspora into a cosmonation and how diasporans in different units of such a crossborder social formation, wherever they relocate, relate to each other. The ensemble thereby functions as a cultural and political collectivity manifested through cultural traditions, inter-site familial, institutional, and associational ties, transnational solidarity, and reverence for the ancestral homeland.

Abstract

This book aims to fill a void in the literature on the contributions of the state to the social protection, educational training, and human security of its overseas citizens. Additionally, Michel S. Laguerre seeks to explain the rise of the postdiaspora condition: an emancipatory metamorphosis of diaspora status. Laguerre pays particular attention to the crossborder services that the state provides, transfrontier mechanisms developed by various institutions, as well as extraterritorial forms of management and governance. He sheds light on complex crossborder arrangements and management, the multiplicity of crossborder agencies and organizations, and the promulgation of new laws that provide a legal basis for these extraterritorial undertakings by the state. The ability of emigrants to hold citizen status—and to enjoy access to the same rights and privileges as those offered to residents of the homeland—sets the cosmonational context for the performance of the postdiaspora condition. .

Abstract

This study seeks to explain three models of network governance embedded in digital practices that the mainstream monotheistic religions--Judaism, Catholic Christianity, and Islam--have used to lead and manage the worldwide distribution of their local nodes, exploring the connection between network governance and its digital embeddedness and showing how the latter enhances the performance of the former.

Abstract

"For many years, cities throughout the globe have developed ties with each other to process and nurture friendship, solidarity, and collaboration. They constitute a mode of governance distinct from the modus operandi of cities that are not involved in such crossborder entanglements. While the characteristics of twinned cities are known on a local, regional, or national level, little analysis is available about their operation at the global level. An approach to the study of sister cities anchored through a global framework has been long overdue. In this light, Global City-Twinning in the Digital Age unveils an analysis of intercity relationships on a global scale and as a global phenomenon with digital communication technologies playing a key role in upgrading traditional practices, enhancing crossborder cooperation, and facilitating the production of digital sister cities." -- Publisher. "This book analyzes the deployment of sister city formations and operations throughout the globe with a focus on cities of North America, Latin America, North Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean region. Using a global approach, it discusses the variety of orientations and purposes they take from friendship, entrepreneurship, urban development, cooperative management, municipal policy to digital entanglements. It expands the scope of study of sister cities by unveiling the role of immigrants, diaspora, and postdiaspora in the making and functioning of sister cities and by assessing the production of the digital model of sister cities." -- Publisher.
