Empire (Omni Shoreham)
The extensive literature on incorporation of migrants and minorities in Europe has focused on countries of immigration. It has largely neglected re-incorporation policies emanating from the migrants' countries of origin. This panel bridges this gap by including papers that address countries of origin as well as papers that focus on countries of destination. By covering a range of possible ties between migrants, minorities and states, the panel opens space for dialogue between scholars seeking to understand the sources of variation in incorporation policies in both "sending" and "receiving" contexts.
The papers all address the subject of incorporation in a comparative perspective. They include a cross-national study on young emerging elites and their notions of national identity; a study that seeks to explain cross-national variations in incorporation of 'plural histories' in secondary school curricula; a study on cross-national variations in ties between migrant EU citizens and politicians in 'sending countries'; and a study to explain variations in states' policies toward diasporas (co-ethnics abroad) and their incorporation or integration upon 'return'.
