Cover Story: This is a referential article about the prospects around the ongoing West-Basque-American e-diaspora in California, Nevada, and Idaho. It challenges the existing interpretation so far made in the Basque Studies eminently in humanities and relying on a conventional approach by advocating a transdisciplinary academic agenda and policy roadmap to support Basque communities in their locations, beyond institutional agreements and scattered promotional actions. Furthermore, the article suggests completing Basque Studies Programs with a transdisciplinary social sciences roadmap through four developmental transitions: (i) socioeconomics (local and regional development), (ii) sociopolitics (fiscal decentralization and e-democracy), (iii) diaspora and migration studies, and (iv) digitalisation/datafication (e-citizens as digital natives in the metaverse). View this paper
