#Diaspora

How states project influence through diaspora and lobbying channels — and how host states register (or fail to register) it. China's United Front, the EU's emerging foreign-agent regimes, India's inbound/outbound asymmetry, the US dormant-FARA reality and the UK's newly-active FIRS. The component the Convergence Index scores.

The historical record on foreign-influence displacement: six response-classes, thirty-nine sourced cases, and the capacity ladder that shows what capture takes off the menu.

Why Mexico runs no AIPAC/USINPAC-style diaspora PAC — not absence from the influence game but the opposite: the Mexican state is the actor itself, backed by a remittance stream that exceeds its oil revenue and a cartel export economy Washington treats as a national-security threat.

Intelligence services as institutional actors instrumentalizing diaspora communities — postwar Mossad/CIA/KGB template and its worldwide adoption by MSS, RAW, MOIS, MIT, FSB/GRU, GIP, and others

European analog to the US diaspora-influence + labor-arbitrage Ratchet pattern — per-country diaspora-influence operations (UK, DE, FR, NL, SE, BE, CH, Eastern Europe) and EU/national labor-arbitrage mechanisms (Posted Workers Directive, UK Skilled Worker / Health & Care Worker visa, NHS recruitment, Blue Card / Chancenkarte, Schengen freedom of movement, informal southern-EU sectors). Companion to two in-flight US dossiers (diaspora PACs + H-1B body shops). Structural argument, sourced to parliamentary records, court rulings, regulator findings, and major-outlet investigations. No motive imputation. UK-libel-aware.

Diaspora political-action committees and advocacy orgs as remittance-economy influence channels in US policy

Canada and Australia Ratchet pattern — Five Eyes companions to the US diaspora-PAC + labor-arbitrage dossiers, anchored on Hogue Commission (Canada) and FITS register (Australia) public records
