    Chileans in China and How They View Their Role in Public Diplomacy: Between Entrepreneurship and State Policies
    (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) Labarca, Claudia; Werner-Wildner, Philipe
    Since the Free Trade Agreement between China and Chile took effect in 2006, a Chilean business-led diaspora has been growing in mainland China. Using a qualitative thematic analysis, and through perspectives gathered during 19 semi-structured, in-depth interviews, this chapter describes this diaspora community’s characteristics, motivations, identities, and levels of social capital. It also explores its contributions to public diplomacy efforts promoted by the Chilean government in China. By doing this, this chapter avoids the traditional focus on the political dimensions of diasporas to instead explore business-centered state-diaspora interactions.

    Climate Change, Health, and Migration in LAC
    (Springer Cham, 2025) Batista, Carolina; Borjas-Cavero, Diego B.; Farante, Sofia Virginia; Melo Contreras, Óscar; Lescano, Andrés G.
    This chapter examines the interconnectedness of climate change, health, and migration in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). A comprehensive literature review identified severe and disproportionate consequences of climate change on the health of migrants, with major impacts on vulnerable mobile groups such as indigenous peoples, children, women, and the LGBTI+ community. We analyzed the consequences of infectious diseases, such as vector-borne and neglected diseases, as well as non-communicable diseases and mental health. The findings highlight the urgent need to generate evidence on climate-induced migration at sub-regional and national level and to address the vulnerability of marginalized groups that contribute the least to greenhouse gas emissions, a matter of climate justice. Additionally, there is a need for further research on the health impacts of climate change on migrants in LAC, including those that migrate for non-climate-related reasons. These knowledge and action gaps underscore the importance of designing tailored health policies that ensure to reduce the vulnerability of migrants to health threats.
