Abstract

Diaspora alongside with the variety of actors in international relations such as transnational government and non-government organizations and financial groups plays the growing role in forging and realization of domestic and foreign policy of contemporary states. In the article the authors reason the opportunity to examine contemporary diasporas not only as the representatives of concrete ethnic and confessional cultures, but also as efficient political instruments for promotion of national interests and image making of the country. The governments successfully exploit the potential of the diasporas in the process of implementing their domestic and/or foreign policy strategies and development plans.
