“…Future studies would benefit from bringing further examination of context through quantitative methods. There have been only a few accounts using quantitative analyses related to diaspora mobilizations so far (Collier and Hoeffler 2000;Gamlen et al 2013;Ragazzi 2014). These have been based on data sets derived from secondary sources.…”

This special issue seeks to move the scholarly conversation beyond notions of conflict-generated diasporas as simply agents of conflict or peace. The field is ripe to unpack the notion of context for diaspora mobilisation in International Relations, the focus and novelty of this special issue. Theorising in this volume goes beyond current prevalent thinking that contexts are host-states in which diasporas live, and original home-states to which they are transnationally connected. The emphasis here is that diasporas have linkages to different contexts, and that their embeddedness in these contexts -simultaneously or sequentially in time -either shapes their mobilizations or is shaped by them. The volume theorises about spatialities and temporalities of diaspora engagement: it emphasises spatial notions such as multi-sited embeddedness, positionality, and translocalism on the one side, and temporal notions such as critical junctures, transformative events, simultaneity, crises, and durability of conflicts on the other. This collection further adds new thematic areas to current scholarly inquiry, opening the discussion beyond interest in diaspora remittances, economic development, and extraterritorial voting. The authors take little-explored paths to examine diasporas as agents in transitional justice processes, contested sovereignty, and fragile and de facto states, as well as in civic and ethnic-based activism.

“…Therefore, this paper pays only superficial attention to those dealing with diaspora engagement policies in general (e.g. Gamlen, 2006;Ragazzi, 2014) or the Russian diaspora specifically (e.g. Kolstø & Edemsky, 1995;Zevelëv, 2001).…”

Authoritarian regime stabilization through legitimation, popular co-optation, and exclusion: Russianpasportizatsiyastrategies in Crimea

In the spring of 2014, Russian authorities distributed, rapidly and on mass, Russian passports to their newly and controversially acquired citizens within Crimea. This passport distribution strategy, or pasportizatsiya, can be seen as a continuation of the Soviet practice which was conducted to spatially control a population. In focusing on the most contemporary instance of this practice, this paper asks: how and why did pasportizatsiya take place in Crimea? The research involved a processed-focused empirical data collection, consisting of interviews conducted with Crimeans and NGO representatives. The article finds that distribution of Russian passports to Ukrainian citizens in Crimea provided the Russian Federation with a regime stabilization mechanism, through the population within their new and controversially acquired territorial borders.

“…Más aún, los flujos emigratorios que afectaron a la región pusieron en evidencia la fluidez que tienen los límites políticos y la naturaleza inmaterial e imaginaria del concepto de pertenencia a la nación. De modo que la relación de los Estados con el segmento de la sociedad que reside en el exterior ha cobrado entidad propia y ha sido objeto de políticas públicas específicas que tienden a mantener los vínculos de los emigrantes con el país de origen (Collyer 2013;Agunias y Newland 2012;Ancien et al 2009;Brand 2006;Østergaard-Nielsen 2003;Ragazzi 2009Ragazzi , 2014. En ese marco, se observa una tendencia generalizada hacia una noción de «ciudadanía expandida», como la llama Bauböck (2005), que en los aspectos legal y político toma la forma de una ampliación de los derechos de los residentes no ciudadanos y de los ciudadanos no residentes.…”

Fecha de recepción: 7 de octubre del 2016 Fecha de aceptación y versión final: 3 de julio del 2017 RESUMEN: Este trabajo analiza el aspecto político de la inclusión intermitente y selectiva en la política doméstica argentina de los ciudadanos residentes en el exterior. Se explica cómo evolucionaron las iniciativas estatales y qué factores influyen en el ejercicio del derecho al voto desde el exterior. Se muestra, también, cómo se originó y luego se estancó una nueva política hacia los emigrantes y en qué medida esto se traduce en una inclusión limitada hoy. Este estudio contribuye así a elucidar la dinámica política e institucional que moldea los procesos de reforma de la ciudadanía en uno de los casos menos estudiados de la literatura.Palabras clave: transnacionalismo político; voto exterior; Argentina; derechos políticos; emigración.ABSTRACT: This paper explores the politics of intermittent and selective inclusion of Argentines abroad in home politics. It accounts for franchise reform initiatives and explains which factors influenced Argentine citizens in the exercising of their right to vote from abroad. It traces the unfolding and stalemate of an incipient diaspora engagement policy to explain the limits to effective political inclusion of Argentine citizens living abroad today. Thus, it contributes to our understanding of the politics and institutional dynamics of the process of reforming the franchise and citizenship in one of the least explored examples within the literature.
