Why do states enfranchise citizens abroad? Comparative insights from Mexico, Italy and Belgium

Abstract: Over the past two decades, sending states have greatly increased their interest in maintaining strong connections with their citizens abroad. The worldwide adoption of external voting – understood not only as an electoral procedure that allows some citizens to cast their vote outside the national territory but also as an acknowledgement that an emigrant status is compatible with polity membership – illustrates this phenomenon.

“…Yet, a growing literature is focusing more on the opposite dynamic -how homeland states influence and shape diaspora politics from the inside outwards. These policies can range from giving members of the diaspora VIP status, encouraging remittances and investment, promoting dual citizenship and overseas voting, to using diasporic groups as a tool of public diplomacy to promote state interests abroad (Adamson and Demetriou 2007;Bauböck 2005;Collyer 2014;Fitzgerald 2006b;Lafleur 2011). Rather, states are increasingly reaching out to and shaping politics in the diaspora through their so-called 'diaspora management policies' (Adamson 2019;Collyer 2013;Délano and Gamlen 2014;Fitzgerald 2006a;Gamlen 2008;Levitt and de la Dehesa 2003;Naujoks 2013;Varadarajan 2010).…”

“…Estudios más recientes (Lafleur, 2013;Padilla, 2011;Padilla y Ortiz, 2012;Gamlen, 2013) y el estudio de Ramírez (2013) sobre Ecuador, que plantea la ciudadanía universal basada en la justicia social. Los estudios de las TIC vinculados a los espacios transnacionales y ciudadanías imaginadas Feliú y Peñaranda, 2012), muestran hallazgos similares al presente estudio.…”

“…Esto contradice la tesis de debilitamiento del Estado-nación debido a la crisis del Estado y la emergencia de lo local (Appadurai, 1999), pues "la falta de credibilidad en el Estado y en el sistema político no conduce directamente al declive a la nación (Grimson, 2004). Además los Estados se reinventan mediante políticas migratorias (Gamlen, 2006;Padilla, 2011;Lafleur;2013) y en las relaciones entre inmigrantes, porque a la ausencia de la "familia y amigos lejanos […] los paisanos o connacionales son 8 fuentes primarias de comunidad e identificación (Miller, 1997). Relaciones, en las que los reinventan y mitifican sus historias para reestructurar sus identidades actuales (Pérez, 1991), como su comunidad en el país receptor.…”

“…Dentro del contexto europeo, unos de los factores que han determinado el reconocimiento del voto desde el exterior para los ciudadanos no-residentes han sido la migración intra-europea y la otorgación de derechos a voto para el parlamento Europeo (Lafleur 2011). El caso de Reino Unido es ilustrativo en este sentido.…”
