Abstract:

In recent decades, transnational communities have challenged the traditional conceptions of state sovereignty and citizenship, especially with regard to the connection between citizenship and the territorial boundaries of the state. Transnational populations have an impact on the nature of sovereignty and of citizenship not just in the countries they immigrate to, about which there is a large political science literature, but also in their home, or sending countries, about which there is substantially less analysis. At the same time that 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.
In this paper we explore the politics of relations between sending states and their diasporas/expatriates. We are particularly interested in the nature of dual citizenship and the extent to which states expect their extra-territorial citizens (or citizens abroad) to exercise their citizenship rights and responsibilities. Our principle research questions are about the extent to which states expect their extra-territorial citizens, or emigrants (with an e), or diasporas, or expatriates, to exercise their formal citizenship rights and responsibilities. Is there an observable pattern or sequence to the type of rights states grant their expatriates? If so, what variables influence these patterns? How viable is the notion of citizenship if it is exercised from abroad, and, especially, how viable are policies permitting dual or multiple citizenship? We use a most different systems method, comparing three very different states--Spain, Armenia, and Mexico--that in recent years have extended greater attention to their populations abroad, and have debated the nature of citizenship rights, including dual citizenship to emigrants.
