“…For instance, the Turkish state actively sought to mobilize Turkish citizens in protest against the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and in favour of Turkey's EU membership (Østergaard-Nielsen 2009 ). This strategy of "courting the diaspora" is a departure from the more defensive tactic of policing the diaspora and trying to curb dissidence abroad through withdrawal of citizenship or the consular control of migrant associations (Østergaard-Nielsen 2003a ;.…”

“…From this perspective, sending states reach out to their diasporas in recognition of the economic and political contributions that emigrants might make via remittances, foreign direct investment, or political support (Sheffer 1986 ;Bauböck 2003 ;Østergaard-Nielsen 2003a ;Guarnizo 1998 ). Consequently, sending country outreach policies constitute a particularly attractive strategy for states that occupy a marginal position in the global economic and political system (Guarnizo 1998 ).…”

“…6 In most instances, however, the electoral impact of the 'expatriate vote' has been insignificant. Only occasionally has the mobilisation of external voters changed the electoral balance to the benefit of political parties or candidates that had failed to obtain a majority of domestic votes already.…”

“…However, the 'assimilationist' model in which migrant identities evolved to accord more closely with dominant identities within their new national context has been widely challenged by multicultural and transnationalist perspectives (Castles 2002;Faist 2000;Koopmans and Statham 1999;Østergaard-Nielsen 2003;Portes et al 1999). While such arguments represent a valuable corrective to insufficiently nuanced understandings of the relationship between migration and identity, arguably they neglect an important dimension.…”

“…While an increasing number of states are marked by both substantial immigration and outmigration (Østergaard-Nielsen 2003), as a national 'region' of a larger state (the United Kingdom) Scotland is an interesting case of a territory which has a fairly long history of being so characterised, and net emigration has also been an historically consistent feature of its demography. It has also been noted that for countries which experience substantial outmigration, the most obviously negative aspect is the loss of the most educated individuals, sometimes described as a 'brain drain' (Østergaard-Nielsen 2003: 9).…”

However, the 'assimilationist' model in which migrant identities evolved to accord more closely with dominant identities within their new national context has been widely challenged by multicultural and transnationalist perspectives (Castles 2002;Faist 2000;Koopmans and Statham 1999;Østergaard-Nielsen 2003;Portes et al 1999). While such arguments represent a valuable corrective to insufficiently nuanced understandings of the relationship between migration and identity, arguably they neglect an important dimension. While in one respect challenging 'methodological nationalism' (Wimmer and Glick Schiller 2003), the primary point of reference continues to be the state. It is states that are understood to be multicultural, and transnationalism in fact describes a situation where migrant interests and identities are divided between different state contexts.What is underemphasised is the multi-national nature of many states and the significance that this has for questions relating to migration and identity. Migration need not entail the traversing of state boundaries for questions of identity -indeed national identity -to be significant. Although discussions of the relationship between migration, identity and citizenship are important and valuable (see, e.g. Castles 2002;Nagel and Staeheli 2004) many migrants move within state boundaries but cross 2 national borders, and thus retain their previous citizenship rights but nevertheless are required to (re-)negotiate their identities within a changed national context. In these instances, migrants may have a disrupted sense of belonging and identification, and formal citizenship is no guarantee against 'informal and symbolic' exclusion (Favell and Geddes 1999: 11;Nagel and Staeheli 2004).We examine a specific instance of migration across national borders but within state boundaries: movement between England and Scotland. Our work contrasts with previous research on England-Scotland migration in that we focus on a somewhat under-researched group (graduates, specifically those who moved fromEngland to study at a university in Scotland) and on those who, although not recent migrants to Scotland, were not long-term residents. An important aspect of the research was to explore what factors may be influential in encouraging long-term settlement among this group. Graduate migration is also examined within the context of Scotland's contemporary demographic challenges, and the political response to these ch...
