Event Overview

Across the United States, diaspora communities are playing an increasingly visible role in debates about foreign policy, democracy, sanctions, and geopolitical conflict. Cuban, Venezuelan, Iranian, and Chinese American communities, among others, are engaging politically both in relation to developments in their countries of origin and to U.S. domestic politics.

This briefing will explore how diaspora communities shape policy debates in Washington, how global tensions affect immigrant communities in the United States, and how divisions within diasporas themselves influence public discourse.
