Description
Summary:The present monograph examines the governance of state–diaspora relations, conceptualising it as a domain of public policy that requires new tools of analysis and design. The research focuses on institutional, legal, and organisational mechanisms through which diasporas are engaged in the political, economic, and cultural life of their countries of origin. The central aim is to demonstrate how different theories of public management, Weberian bureaucracy, governance, stakeholder theory, and the resource-based view can be applied to the evaluation and development of diaspora policies. The research problem is framed by the question of which models of cooperation are most effective under conditions of global mobility and the diversity of diasporas. Methodologically, the study employs institutional and legal analysis, comparative inquiry, and case studies. Selected states, including India, China, Israel, Canada, Ireland, the Philippines, Nigeria, the United States, and Armenia, are examined alongside Poland, which is assessed as a hybrid model that combines classical bureaucratic frameworks with mechanisms inspired by New Public Management. The findings indicate that no single theoretical model operates in isolation. Effective diaspora policies integrate bureaucratic procedures with network-based governance, stakeholder dialogue, and the mobilization of financial, human, and social capital. While countries with large and well-organised diasporas increasingly treat these communities as strategic resources, Poland still underutilises the developmental potential of Polonia despite reforms that introduced project-based funding and participatory elements. The key conclusion is that hybrid approaches to diaspora engagement – combining institutional stability with flexibility and innovation – represent the most promising model. Only through such integration can states maximise the strategic value of their diasporas as partners in development, culture, and diplomacy.
