About the Study

The passage of different historical periods has shown that with the emergence of various problems for humanity such as regional and civil wars, poverty and economic instability, cultural, civilizational and ideological conflicts, epidemics, etc. They always choose immigration as a solution to their problem. By saying goodbye to their homeland and entering a non-native land, these immigrants, after a while, form a social host in the heart of society, which seeks to preserve and keep alive the customs, traditions, art and science of their homeland. These communities are known as distant or diaspora communities. In the last two centuries, and especially in the present, the role and influence of the diaspora in international societies and the international system is clearly visible. At present, the importance of the role of the Diaspora as one of the transnational actors along with the role of governments in the international system and international relations has an influential and special place. Which can achieve results in different conditions by benefiting from different efficiency and potentials developed from its existential nature. And these results in international relations are manifested primarily in the first place with important political, economic, social, cultural effects on the homeland and the host country of the diaspora, and finally at the international or regional level. In this article with descriptive and analytical methods; In order to identify the various influential dimensions of the role of Diasporas in relations between countries, in response to the question that “What effects do host and patriotic countries have on the mapping of Diasporas? “It is hypothesized that "it seems that Diasporas can create a map given the hidden potential within them and the conditions and opportunities created by the host country and the homeland. “Finally, they can have an impact on gaining multifaceted concessions in foreign policy and international relations. Before globalization, governments were unrivaled rulers of international relations and exercised any sovereignty over them. Even when governments decided to relinquish part of their sovereignty, And they exchanged it with others in international organizations, and international organizations sided with governments to ensure the sovereignty and sovereignty of powerful countries. The bipolar system and ideological confrontations caused governments to take a stand against any entry of new actors and to exercise extreme caution, but with the advent of post-globalization, transnational actors announced their presence to make an impact in the field of international relations, and Also, among the transnational actors that have a significant impact on international policy and foreign decision-making of governments, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), multinational corporations, religious groups, epistemological communities, religious and humanitarian organize and transnational communities, terrorist groups, drug traffickers as well as diasporas. Among these, Diasporas are the focus in this article. Diasporas, which are an important part of the transnational actors in today's international system, are establishing their own communities and forming their own communities around the world. These immigrants can become influential groups nationally and internationally. This migrant population migrates to the host country for reasons such as regional and civil wars, poverty and economic instability, cultural and civilizational and ideological conflicts, epidemics, etc., creating a community in a non-native land. In that conscience there is a desire to return to the motherland if conditions improve. Therefore, by living in the host community, this community strives to keep alive as well as modernize its territorial culture, customs and teachings, even if it is mixed with the culture of the host community. The concept of diaspora and the patterns of influence of these societies are among the topics that have received increasing attention from researchers, politicians and other international relations activists in the last two decades. In the words of one of the leading professors in the field, "all enemies, friends and even skeptics agree on the growing use of the diaspora and its critical necessity." In the last two centuries, and especially in the present, the role and influence of the diaspora in international societies and the international system is clearly visible. At present, the importance of the role of the Diaspora as one of the transnational actors along with the role of governments in the international system and international relations has an influential and special place. Which can achieve results in different conditions by benefiting from different efficiency and potentials developed from its existential nature and these results are manifested in international relations and the international system, primarily with important political, economic, social, cultural, etc. effects on the homeland and the host country of the diaspora, and finally at the international or regional level.
