Call for papers: International Studies Association Workshop
Unpacking the Sending State: Regimes, Institutions, and non-State Actors in Diaspora & Emigration Politics
12-13 September, 2016, Warwick University
This workshop seeks to understand how regimes, institutions and non-actors shape sending states’ extraterritorial engagement with migrants and diaspora populations abroad. This is the second workshop to be convened as part of a venture research grant from the International Studies Association, to be additionally sponsored by the ERC Starting Grant “Diasporas and Contested Sovereignty.” This emerging research agenda seeks to consolidate ideas on international migration politics within the fields of International Relations and Comparative Politics on issues of statehood, conflicts and security, democratization, authoritarianism, political economy, and political geography. The focus of the second workshop will be on the role of political regimes.
Deadline for expression of interest to be included in a potential ISA 2017 panel is 29 May 2016. Applications for the workshop need to be submitted by 15 June, 2016.
