Diasporas are increasingly relevant transnational nonstate actors in international politics, including civil conflicts. Extant scholarship has examined the determinants and consequences of external support to civil conflict actors. However, the majority of this research focuses on traditional support from active, or state, sponsors. This dissertation endeavors to expand this vein of scholarship to include diasporas' influence on contentious politics in their homelands by asking three interconnected questions. First, why do foreign diasporas participate in civil conflicts by providing financial, material, or political support to militant groups in diasporas' homelands? I argue that diasporas' participation in homeland civil conflicts depends on their level of host state integration. Specifically, I find empirical evidence to support my argument that moderately integrated diasporas are both willing and able to support homeland militants. Second, under what conditions does diaspora participation in homeland contentious politics escalate violence versus facilitate peace? Using a formal model, I find that the probability of peaceful resolution to conflicts in diasporas' homelands is directly related to the degree of optimism diasporas have regarding the quality of the deal produced by negotiations between homeland conflict actors. I also provide evidence to support this hypothesis using press releases from a Palestinian American diaspora organization, the American Task Force on Palestine. Third, I ask why some diaspora members develop hawkish preferences toward contentious politics in their homelands. Drawing on insights from psychology, I find empirical evidence to support my moral foundations theory-based argument. To test these hypotheses, I use quantitative and formal analytical methods and various data sources, including the UCDP Non-state Actors in Armed Conflict Dataset (NSA), Non-State Armed Groups Dataset (NAG), the Computational Event Data System Levant Dataset (CEDS), the Arab Democracy Barometer (ABIII), as well as others.
