Abstract

This panel addresses the questions of why and how states extend citizen rights to their emigrants. Particularly, we will discuss whether policies directed toward the political engagement of emigrants in/with/towards the countries of origin follow discernible models, and, if so, which understandings of citizenship are delineated by those models. We will discuss papers that deepen our knowledge about the actual transnational connections and political dynamics between emigrants and homeland actors in proposing, encouraging, implementing and deepening these policies. The panel combines contributions that address these questions in a comparative perspective, from small to large-n analyses.
