Dissertation Research in Croatian Diaspora Communities
My name is Michael Popovic. I am of half-Croatian and half-German decent born
in Munich, Germany. Over the years, I have maintained close contact with my
Croatian family, visiting Croatia virtually every year. In 1998, I emigrated to
the United States to pursue a doctorate in International Political Economy at
Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. My research focus is the Croatian
Diaspora in the United States and Germany. I research and analyze migrational
patterns; ties between Diaspora members and the homeland; social dynamics
within Diaspora communities; and economic implications of Diaspora homeland
interactions. In researching for my dissertation, I have interviewed over 70
Croatian Diaspora members in Munich, Germany; Detroit, Michigan; and most
recently St. Louis, Missouri. A number of Croatians in these communities have
provided me with much valuable information. Without these individuals, I would
have not been able to conduct my research. I hope this invaluable assistance
will continue, as I enter the last phase of my studies before completing my
dissertation at the end of this year. I am now seeking to interview Croats that
have either already invested in Croatia or are in the process of doing so. This
can be smaller investments, e.g. an apartment in Zagreb or a house or property
at the coast; or larger investments, e.g. a company, a hotel, a winery or
property. These investors can be from all over the United States. I am spending
the week of April 7 in New York City, and would like to meet with Croatians in
the area to discuss the investment process and why they decided to invest. I
would greatly appreciate it if Croatians in New York City would contact me via
email or telephone to speak about this before my departure on April 14th.
Please contact me either via email at mjpopovi@artsci.wustl.edu or leave a
message on my St. Louis answering machine at (314) 726-9976. I would be more
than happy to return the call and set up a meeting. Please don’t hesitate to
contact me if you don’t live in New York, as I’d be happy to interview you over
the phone at your earliest convenience.
Bok,
Michael
