| Title | The influence of the Palestinian diaspora in Chile on Chilean Foreign Policy |
| Summary | This thesis seeks to analyse the impact of the Palestinian diaspora in Chile –the largest Palestinian community outside the Arab world- on Chilean foreign policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The research engages with the history of Palestine and the emigration of Palestinians to Chile, as well as their integration and organization in the country, their role and positions in Chilean internal politics and economy, and the evolution of the Palestinian national movement, in order to explain the Palestinian diaspora’s involvement in Palestinian politics. This research will also analyse Chilean-Palestinian bilateral relations, and the influence or impact of the diaspora community on Chilean foreign policy regarding the Palestinian struggle. This thesis argues that in different historical moments the Palestinian diaspora in Chile played a variable role and had diverse impacts on Chilean foreign policy regarding Palestine, and that the signature of the Oslo agreements in the mid-90s was a pivotal moment in this evolution. Key concepts: Palestinian diaspora, Palestine, Chile, migration, Foreign Policy, United Nations. |
