A critical but mostly overlooked aspect of both contemporary and historical political  violence is the role diaspora communities have played in the planning, organization, financing, and execution of acts of terror. Members of the American Irish, Canadian Sikh, Swiss Tamil and Australian Croat diasporas—to provide just a sample—have all been powerful agents  in the terrorist activities perpetrated in the name of their national and religious communities. The Diaspora Politics and Transnational Political Violence podcast series focuses on the development of extremist politics within diaspora populations and the conditions that lead them to embrace terrorism as an acceptable form of political expression.The series was produced for the Diaspora Politics and Transnational Political Violence course taught the Winter semester of 2017,  by Mate Nikola Tokić , Humanities Initiative Visiting Professor at Central European University’s Department of International Relations.
