Newcomers Navigating the Welfare State
This chapter aims to explore newly arrived immigrants’ perceptions of the PCSW services they receive. Three aspects of this perception will be analysed: services, practices, and self-perception. The first part looks at the perception of the rights and services at the moment of registration at the PCSW. The second part will analyse the representations that newcomers have of the concrete practices of social workers, who are responsible for opening …
Newcomers Navigating the Welfare State
The topic of social assistance for migrant newcomers often sparks heated public debate and remains a prominent concern on the policy agenda. Society – including the target groups of welfare institutions – has experienced a growing level of diversity. This reality gives rise to new demands and changing profiles of individuals who benefit from welfare services. Welfare institutions, which are responsible for providing social assistance, play a cruc…
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 Social Protection in Europe and Beyond (Volume 3)
This open access book takes the perspective of non-EU countries on immigrant social protection. By focusing on 12 of the largest sending countries to the EU, the book tackles the issue of the multiple areas of sending state intervention towards migrant populations.
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 1)
This first open access book in a series of three volumes provides an in-depth analysis of social protection policies that EU Member States make accessible to resident nationals, non-resident nationals and non-national residents. In doing so, it discusses different scenarios in which the interplay between nationality and residence could lead to inequalities of access to welfare. Each chapter maps the eligibility conditions for accessing social ben…
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 …
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
Pourquoi l'immigration
Combien y a-t-il d'immigrés en Belgique ? Occupent-ils les emplois des Belges ? Sont-ils intégrés ? Bien que la plupart des Belges aient une réponse à ces questions, elles reposent trop souvent sur des préjugés. Pour les dépasser, cet ouvrage répond aux 21 questions fréquentes que se posent les Belges au sujet de l'immigration à l'aide d'arguments scientifiques clairs et concis. Au terme de cette lecture, chacun pourra donc participer de façon co…
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 enfranchisement of citizens abroad
peer reviewed
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 …

La participation politique transnationale des Belges expatriés
Comment le conflit ethno-linguistique opposant Flamands et Francophones en Belgique se répercute-t-il parmi les populations belges expatriées ? En s’appuyant sur les concepts de nationalisme de longue-distance et de transnationalisme, l’auteur étudie le transfert de clivages politiques du pays d’origine vers les communautés émigrées. Il examine les conditions dans lesquelles les associations d’expatriés belges ont été créées, rend compte du débat…
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. In the first section of this paper, we provide a theoretical framework to this special issue by examining the links between music and politics. We underline several elements relat…
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…
Bienvenidos a Miami
En retraçant les principales évolutions de la migration cubaine vers la Floride, cet article s’attache à expliquer la transformation du pouvoir économique dans l’enclave cubaine américaine de Miami en pouvoir politique. Après une période d’activisme qui voit triompher le courant conservateur, la communauté s’engage sur la voie du lobbying ethnique au début des années 1980. La cohésion et le contrôle social dans l’enclave sur lesquels s’appuie la …
