520			_aHow do parties in government and opposition in a contested post-conflict state reach out to their diasporas abroad? Do their policies overlap or differ, and if so why? Scholarly accounts of sending states� outreach towards diasporas have paid little attention to the variety of actors and processes�within�sending states, and have grouped states with contested sovereignty in the same cluster as states for which sovereignty is not a salient issue. This article focuses on one of these contested states, Kosovo, and on the party engagement with diasporas abroad that has emerged there. I conceptualize three types of extraterritorial party outreach ��state-endorsing,�state-challenging, and�party-building. I argue that parties that emerge from secessionism and warfare are more likely to reach out to the diaspora through a�state-endorsing�or�party-building approach, depending on whether they are in government or opposition. Parties that are newly institutionalized in the post-conflict polity seek to engage the diaspora through a�state-endorsing�or�state-challenging approach. - Reproduced.
