“…Over the past two decades, citizenship studies have significantly complexified social–scientific notions of civic membership and inequality in several ways. First, by bringing to light the “infrajuridical cleavages traversing the category of the citizen” (Spire ) and by showing that the distinction between citizen and noncitizen is not a dichotomous one, but rests on a continuous and reversible gradation often connected with ethnoracial and ethnonational hierarchies (Brubaker ; Deschamp ; Stasiulis and Bakan ; Gozdziak ; Morris ; Ngai ; Castles ; Noiriel ; Wacquant ; Sassen ; Nyers ). Second, by uncovering different dimensions of citizenship, whether they pertain to the categories of rights granted as a consequence of membership (Marshall ; Turner ) or to the various channels through which membership can be performed and actualized: citizenship as rights, legal status, identity, or participation (see Bloemraad ; Bosniak ; Bauböck ; Bloemraad, Korteweg and Yurdakul ).…”

Beyond Informal Citizenship: The New Moral Economy of Migrant Illegality1

Over the past decades, citizenship studies have explored in detail the various forms of social and civic integration achieved by otherwise illegal residents in contemporary immigration countries. While a great deal of analysis has tended to rest on a dichotomy between formal exclusion on the one hand and informal incorporation on the other, recent studies have begun questioning this dualistic model by examining the formal circuits of incorporation followed by unauthorized denizens at various geographical and institutional levels. Taking cues from this emerging line of research, this article makes three interconnected arguments. First, in contemporary liberal democracies, the rising tension between the illegal status of new immigrants and their limited but effective incorporation does not always pit formal law against informal practices, but is often located within law itself. Second, as a dynamic institutional nexus, “illegality” does not function as an absolute marker of illegitimacy, but rather as a handicap within a continuum of probationary citizenship. An incipient moral economy sees irregular migrants accumulating official and semiofficial proofs of presence, certificates of reliable conduct and other formal emblems of good citizenship, whether in the name of civic honor, in the hope of lesser deportability, or in view of future legalization. Third, such access to formal civic attributes is simultaneously being made increasingly difficult by the intensification of restrictions and controls from immigration, labor, and welfare authorities, thus confronting irregular migrants with the harsh dilemma of being framed as “more illegal” for the very documentary and economic features also assumed to improve their present and prospective civic deservingness.

“…3. From the 1600s, France established its own East India Company and coastal trading posts and, from the 1700s onwards, offered support for various Indian dissident leaders struggling against British rule (Weber, 1996, Marsh, 2009). In 1963, several years after India’s 1947 Independence, France ceded Pondicherry and parts of Karaikal, Maha and Yanam, known as “French-influenced territories” (Deschamps, 1997). …”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the experience of self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) moving from the global South to the global North. It considers the relationship between country of origin and host country, the role of non-traditional destinations and the choices made by SIEs. Design/methodology/approach In-depth interviews were conducted with Indian SIEs and key experts to explore the motives, identities and life narratives of skilled expatriate Indians in France. Findings The results shed light on how individuals’ careers are fashioned through the intersection of identities; highlighting the interplay between country of origin and the host country as a catalyst in SIEs’ choice of destination. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate a strategic form of agency exercised through these SIEs’ choice of an unconventional destination. Research limitations/implications The intricate nature of SIE trajectories holds implications for migration theory, diaspora studies and career theory. SIEs from the Global South adopt varying strategies linked to specific host-country career offerings, often in sharp contrast with home-country opportunities. Practical implications The results inform managerial and policy-maker understandings of career motivations for mobile skilled workers moving for career and lifestyle. For countries seeking to attract talent, the findings demonstrate the roles of host-country immigration policy, country reputation and perceived career opportunities. Originality/value This study helps address research gaps in relation self-initiated expatriation from the Global South to the North. At the same time, it identifies the potential for transitional spaces and the relationship between countries, identity-formation factors and career agency. These findings on France as a transitional space – one of intermediacy and in-betweenness, where self-identity and future career projections can be re-imagined and reshaped – shed new light on how SIEs and their movements can be conceptualized.

S’appuyant sur le cas des emplois aidés à La Réunion, cet article démontre comment le clientélisme politique participe au processus de certaines politiques publiques, autorisant à parler de « politiques publiques clientélaires ». Dans une première partie, nous montrons comment l’instrument des contrats aidés est, dès l’origine, un dispositif de conservation sociale et de clientélisation politique placé entre les mains des maires et en faveur des intérêts de l’État français. Il s’inscrit dans un contexte de crise sociale et économique potentiellement explosive et de lutte contre la revendication autonomiste portée par le parti communiste réunionnais. Dans une seconde partie, nous étudions comment ce choix de clientéliser une politique publique a déterminé un chemin de dépendance. L’instrument a modelé une configuration d’acteurs remarquablement stable qui use du dispositif, non dans un but d’insertion sur le marché de l’emploi, mais toujours de régularisation sociale et de contrôle territorial, et ce, toujours en faveur des intérêts de l’État français.
