This book examines the relationships between Asia, the Middle East, and Africa through the lenses of diaspora, foreign policy, and economic partnerships. It seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the historical foundations, contemporary developments, and emerging trends that shape engagement across these three regions. By placing these relationships within broader geopolitical, economic, and socio-cultural contexts, the volume underscores the growing importance of transregional cooperation and exchange in the twenty-first century. In doing so, it offers critical insights into the opportunities, challenges, and future directions of Asia–Middle East–Africa relations, making it a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and readers interested in international relations, political economy, migration studies, and Global South affairs.
