Digital diasporas and international development: Afghan-Americans and the reconstruction of Afghanistan. Brinkerhoff, J. M. Public Policy, 413(September):397–413, 2004. abstract bibtex Digital diasporas, diasporas organised on the Internet, offer potential to contribute relevance, representativeness and respon- siveness in meeting development needs. Following a brief overview of thorny dilemmas faced by the changing international development industry, the article discusses diasporas and their current role in international development, and examines the potential mobilisation and communication benefits afforded by the Internet. Three organisations of the Afghan-American digi- tal diaspora are described, representing a range of development activities and intentions. Two sets of propositions are presented: those for digital diasporas seeking to promote effective development contributions and those for actors in the traditional inter- national development industry.
