How framing impacts attitudes about electoral rights for non‐resident citizens
Widespread adoption of policies granting electoral rights to citizens living abroad has spurred vivid scholarly debates regarding the drivers and consequences of extra‐territorial enfranchisement. But, little is known about the views of resident citizens in origin countries on the matter. We address this research gap and investigate how resident citizens' attitudes to external voting rights are affected by different arguments usually salient in h…
Welfare brokers and European Union migrants' access to social protection
In spite of the existence of an extensive national and supranational legal framework, European Union (EU) citizens who exercise their right to freedom of movement to work in another Member State face numerous hurdles in accessing social protection. While recent scholarship on street‐level bureaucracy and on migration and welfare has shed light on the role of discretion and stereotypes in access to rights, little is known about the processes throu…
Ethics Ready'? Governing Research Through Informed Consent Procedures
Social Scientists using ethnographic methods are increasingly confronted with ethical clearance procedures imposed by universities, national authorities, professional organizations and funders. In this article, we focus on informed consent procedures in particular and discuss how they govern fieldwork interactions. To do so, we first show how ethical clearance procedures in Europe have been influenced by biomedical science, creating a risk of 'go…
États et diasporas face à la mort en migration
Comment les États d’origine et leurs diasporas se positionnent-ils face au « droit » au rapatriement des corps ? En articulant la littérature sur « mort et migration » avec les corpus sur les diasporas et le transnationalisme, cet article analyse les rapports entre les émigrés et les autorités de leur pays d’origine par le prisme de la mort. Il repose sur une enquête comparative sur les politiques de rapatriement de dépouilles dans douze États et…
Emigration and the Transnationalization of Sending States’ Welfare Regimes
How does emigration affect sending states’ welfare policies? Existing migration literature has identified numerous political, economic, and institutional variables that influence sending states’ approaches towards emigrants’ welfare. However, this literature has neglected broader processes of social transformation in sending states. Using the concept of welfare regime transnationalization, we show more precisely how emigration transforms welfare …
States and Diasporas Facing Death in Migration
What positions do states of origin and their diasporas take in relation to the “right” to body repatriation? By linking the literature on “death and migration” with the corpus of research on diasporas and transnationalism, this article analyses the relationship between emigrants and the authorities of their country of origin through the prism of death. It is based on a comparative survey of policies on body repatriation in twelve states and on et…
Migration and Access to Welfare Benefits in the EU
Increasing mobility to and from European Union (EU) countries has started to challenge the principles of territoriality and national citizenship through which European democracies traditionally conditioned access to social benefits. Existing typologies of immigrant social protection regimes do not seem to adequately capture (nor explain) the diverse repertoire of policy configurations through which European welfare regimes adapt to migration-driv…
Migration and Social Protection in Europe and Beyond (Volume 2)
This open access book provides a systematic analysis of consular and diaspora policies implemented by EU Member States for their nationals abroad and compares social benefits in the areas of health care, unemployment, old-age pensions, family-related benefits, and guaranteed minimum resources
Leaving Europe
This article addresses conceptual issues around contemporary forms of out-of-Europe migrations of various European publics. In particular, we ask how such moves contribute to both the decentring of Europe in migration debates, and to the ‘de-migranticization' (Dahinden, 2016 Dahinden, J. (2016). A plea for the ‘de-migranticization’ of research on migration and integration 1. Ethnic and Racial Studies, 39(13), 2207–2225. https://doi.org/10.1080/01…
Where and why can expatriates vote in regional elections? A comparative analysis of regional electoral practices in Europe and North America
Published online: 28 Dec 2017
Why do parties support emigrant voting rights
Policies allowing enfranchisement of non-resident citizens (emigrants and their descendants) are now implemented in the majority of states worldwide. A growing number of case studies show that the extension of voting rights to non-resident citizens is often contested among country of origin political parties. However, there is no systematic comparative study of why different political parties support or oppose external voting rights and how this …
Combining transnational and intersectional approaches to immigrants' social protection
Immigrants and family members in the home and host societies experience inequalities in access to social protection. Focusing on healthcare, we demonstrate that immigrant families today respond to healthcare needs of family members here and there through four cross-border strategies. We show that immigrants select and articulate these different strategies to assemble transnational health care arrangements. Using an intersectional approach, we arg…
Creating Undocumented EU Migrants through Welfare
Following the financial and economic crisis, welfare policies across the EU are increasingly becoming instruments for limiting the mobility of certain EU migrants. In this article, we focus on EU citizens who see their freedom of movement in the EU being restricted after they have applied for social assistance or unemployment benefits in their country of residence. Doing so, we conceptualize undocumented EU migration by means of the concepts of '…
Restrictions on Access to Social Protection by New Southern European Migrants in Belgium
Despite the fact that the global financial crisis has affected Belgium’s economic performance, the country has continued to be an attractive destination for migrants. Recently, however, there has been a dramatic change in migrant flows to Belgium, as a result of two phenomena. First and foremost, the country has experienced large inflows of post-accession migration from Central and Eastern European citizens. Second, 40 years after the end of the …
South-North Migration of EU Citizens in Times of Crisis
The financial and economic crisis has been a challenge for the European integration process, and, in many respects, the study of South-North EU migration in times of crisis reveals as much about contemporary mobilities in the EU as it does on Member States' willingness to build solidarity across borders
Contribuyendo a la democracia en países de origen
Este artículo analiza cómo las prácticas políticas de los migrantes contribuyen a la calidad de las democracias en sus países de origen. Para ello nos centramos en el fenómeno del «voto externo», comparando las experiencias de tres países andinos: Colombia, Bolivia y Perú. En los tres casos se han creado mecanismos de inclusión política de los nacionales residentes en el exterior, pero en contextos históricos, socioeconómicos y políticos diferent…
Migration de retour, genre et remises sociales
La crise économique et financière de 2008 a conduit de nombreuses femmes migrantes latino-américaines vivant en Espagne à rentrer dans leur pays d'origine. Par le biais de leur retour, de nouvelles normes, idées et pratiques - qualifiées de remises sociales - sont diffusées dans la société d'origine. En confrontant la littérature existante au cas des femmes migrantes boliviennes de Cochabamba, cet article tente d'identifier les variables détermin…
Transnational Politics as Cultural Circulation
This article contributes to the burgeoning literature on transnational politics by bringing tools used by scholars of cultural diffusion and circulation into these debates. We build on research on social remittances and their potential to yield broader and deeper effects or to ‘scale up’ and ‘scale out.’ Based on a variety of empirical examples, we propose that processes such as circulation, portability, and contact, viewed through a transnationa…
Migration policy reforms in the context of economic and political crises
A body of literature has examined the role of ‘crises’ on policy-making. Yet, we observe that endogenous or exogenous events called ‘crisis-events’ are often randomly chosen as sweeping explanations for reforms in migration and integration policy. Thus, we attempt to find answers for the question of how the latest financial and economic crisis affected policy-making in the area of migration and integration. We apply a combination of interest-base…
Enjeux de la représentation et de la participation politique des émigrés dans leur pays d'origine
Following years of disinterest or hostility, many sending states are now trying to create or strengthen linkages with citizens residing abroad. To this end, states are adopting new policies and creating new institutions dedicated to emigrants. In the past three decades, a majority of states worldwide has adopted external voting legislation that enables citizens abroad to vote (and in certain cases be represented) in the home country without havin…

The political choices of emigrants voting in home country elections
What variables influence the electoral behaviour of citizens voting in home country elections from abroad? Despite the growing interest of migration scholars for the topic of external voting, this question remains largely unanswered. Basing ourselves on the existing political science literature on electoral behaviour and on the migration literature on immigrants' participation in host country politics, we isolate different hypotheses that explain…
Transnational Politics and the State
In just two decades, the number of states that have adopted external voting policies has boomed. Today, these policies, which allow emigrants to take part in home country elections from abroad, are widely found in Europe and Latin America. Looking at the cases of Italy, Mexico, and Bolivia, this book examines the motivations and consequences for states that enfranchise citizens abroad. This analysis sheds light on the impact of emigrants in home …

Towards a transatlantic dialogue in the study of immigrant political transnationalism
The purpose of this special issue is to establish to what extent the place in which immigrants settle (namely the region or country) might determine the types of political activity in which they engage. More precisely, we aim to ascertain whether and for what reasons different forms of transnational political activity develop in the United States and Europe. To achieve this rather ambitious goal, through looking at a series of case studies from E…

Why do states enfranchise citizens abroad? Comparative insights from Mexico, Italy and Belgium
Over the past two decades, sending states have greatly increased their interest in maintaining strong connections with their citizens abroad. Why do states enfranchise citizens abroad? In this article, I seek to answer this question by comparing the evolution of the debates on the extension of voting privileges to citizens residing abroad in Mexico, Italy and Belgium. My central argument is that a combination of variables shapes the development o…
Assessing Emigrant Participation in Home Country Elections
How did Mexican migrants react to the opportunity to formally participate for the first time in home country politics during the 2006 Presidential Election? In this paper, we attempt to explain the low level of migrant voter registration in home country elections. Grounding ourselves on the existing literature on voter turnout, we verify two hypotheses that focus (1) on the role of Mexican authorities, and (2) on the interest of migrants and migr…

The Transnational Political Participation of Latin American and Caribbean Migrants Residing in Europe
Migration from Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries to Europe has increased in great proportions over the last decade. Researchers (principally from southern Europe) have tried to underscore the reasons explaining this phenomenon while also studying different questions related to the presence of these populations such as that of gender, development, or integration. While many of these works have integrated the transnational dimension of c…

Ethnic Minorities’ Cultural and Artistic Practices as Forms of Political Expression
Looking at the current state of the literature, political scientists and sociologists have neglected the political relevance of ethnic and migrant minorities’ popular cultural and artistic productions to concentrate on more conventional forms of political participation.
