Conclusion 173 revolutions in their home-countries. However, it leaves unanswered why diaspora movement interventions varied significantly when compared by national group and host-country. The following two chapters provide the answers by demonstrating how the additive processes of resource conversion and geopolitical support shaped diaspora mobilization for rebellion and relief. In so doing, I show that the emergence of voice, as explained in Chapter 4, does not in-andof-itself transform diaspora activists into interventionists. Instead, their interventions vary according to whether members have the respective network ties, wealth, and skills to convert to a shared cause and whether activists gain the backing of geopolitical powerholders, such as government leaders, the media, and international bodies. The remaining chapters demonstrate how these processes transform anti-regime movements from long-distance supporters into a transnational auxiliary force for change. https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009272148 Published online by Cambridge University Press
