  • contradictions of diasporic institutionalization in mexican politics the 2006 migrant vote and other forms of inclusion and control
    Ethnic and Racial Studies, 2008
    Co-Authors: Robert Courtney Smith
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper examines patterns and contradictions involved in the institutionalization of the relationship between Mexico and its diaspora, with special focus on the migrant vote for president from abroad in 2006. While migrants have made increasing, and increasingly successful, demands for political inclusion, and have succeeded in becoming part of Mexico's imagined political community, the institutionalization of their inclusion has been done in ways that control and limit migrant influence. These measures of inclusion include migrant participation in Mexican state entities such as the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, and in state and local politics, and the granting in 2005 of a key Citizenship Right, the Right to vote from abroad for president. However, the implementation of the Right to vote made it a largely symbolic Right in 2006. Limits on other practices, like running for office, also exist. All this may suggest limits to the extent to which the political class will accommodate migrants’ dema...

  • The reality of Hungarian kin-state support in Vojvodina, Serbia: a minority perspective
    Tartu Ülikool, 2020
    Co-Authors: Todorović Aleksandar
    Abstract:

    Hungary is one of the most proactive kin-states in Europe. It has more than 2 million compatriots living in neighbouring countries. With around 250.000 ethnic Hungarians, the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina is no exception. Hungary as a kin-state has its own approach towards its kin-state politics, but that does not necessarily mean that its kin-minority shares the same priorities. The benefits that ethnic Hungarians abroad receive through kin-state support are numerous and go as far as gaining the dual Citizenship which provides them with the same, (if not more) Rights than Hungarians from Hungary have. Why is that? The non-resident Citizenship Right is followed by non-resident voting Rights which represent a very powerful instrument in the hands of those who know how to use it, for instance, the Hungarian political party Fidesz. However, the specificity of Hungary’s kin-state support in Serbia is that the former is an EU state, whilst the latter is moving towards EU membership. Taking into account the existential problems of the minority community, having the opportunity to obtain the EU passport for Vojvodina Hungarians is significant and has led to large scale emigration. The consequences are not only related to the impossibility of long term survival of Hungarians in their historical lands, but also to making lives of the ones who remain even more complicated. This research will observe the connection between the aim of Hungarian kin-state support and the reality of being a kin-minority in Vojvodina.https://www.ester.ee/record=b5380639*es
