Abstract:

Since the late 1940?s states have experienced an unprecedented exchange of populations, but it was not until recently that transnational movements of labor all over the world have equally challenged the nature of state sovereignty and the traditional conception of citizenship, where citizenship and nationality are tied to territorial boundaries of the state. While receiving states have been pressured to revise their immigration and citizenship policies, sending states are increasingly becoming more involved into the lives of their ?natives? living abroad. There is a growing important literature analyzing transnational diasporas? influence both in the homeland and in host states as well as transnational labor movements and their impact on citizenship and immigration policies in receiving states. The literature explaining the ways expatriates are being treated by the sending states remains quite limited, however.In this paper we explore the politics of relations between sending states and their diasporas/expatriates. Specifically, we explore the nature of citizenship rights granted to expatriates by states that are exercising dual citizenship. We assess the extent of the rupture that occurs to this relationship when members of the diaspora become citizens of another state. In other words, should we view dual citizenship as just one more point on a continuum of expatriate policies, or is it a qualitative leap? To measure citizenship rights enjoyed by expatriates we incorporate T. H. Marshall?s classification of citizenship rights into civil, political and social rights categories. We compare the cases of Armenia, Mexico, Israel, Spain, and the Ukraine.
