6 Décembre 2018- Freud Museum, London, UKAvec une communication de Hicham JAMID  : « The Moroccan governance of highly skilled international migration: devices and measures »ArgumentaireThe institutional or factual relationships between home states and theiremigrants have always existed, at least in the traditional form of consularprotection, or in very specific areas, such as the economy (i.e. remittances).However, the last decades have witnessed a large expansion of institutions,policies, and other state-sponsored mechanisms all around the globe, linkinghome states and emigrants / diasporas well beyond the traditional areas. Inmany cases, such diaspora engagement policies and institutions have beendevised by home states with the implicit or explicit goal of better control,according to fields such as  national /political interests, the social, economic, cultural and political activities oftheir diasporas. In this way, more than a hundred states have established formsof diaspora engagement policies and institutions, with a variety of motivations(Gamlen 2017).During thelast decades, academics have been trying to understand and interpret themechanisms behind home states’ policies on outreach to their citizens abroad. Agrowing body of literature has been dedicated to this emerging phenomenon ofthe development of diaspora-engagement policies cultivated by political actorsin the homeland (Baubock 2003, Adamson 2006, Gamlen 2006, Brand 2006, De Haas2007, Fitzgerald 2009, Varadajaran 2010, Mugge 2012, Brinkerhoff 2005, Ragazzi2009).  This literature focused on avariety of topics including unpacking the terms “state” and “diaspora” to startwith (Alonso and Mylonas 2017; Delano 2017), the evolution of diasporaengagement policies through time (Mencutek and Baser 2017), and themulti-tiered nature of diaspora engagement policies (Han 2017, Pedroza andPalop 2017),among others. Many other specialists have studied specific areas ofdiaspora-engagement policies, not only including economics andmigration/citizenship, but also other topics such as specific extraterritorialsecurity measures by authoritarian and semi-authoritarian states (Brinkerhoff2005, Lewis 2015, Glasius 2018). Theorising sending states’ motivations andtheir involvement in shaping, mobilizing and in some cases “taming” thediaspora will continue as more empirical studies emerge that endeavour to providedeeper analysis that goes beyond explanations solely focusing on economicinterests.We invitecontributions focusing on the diaspora-home state nexus from a variety ofperspectives including transnational engagement of diasporas with theirhomelands, expatriate voting and political participation, diaspora-engagementpolicies, institutions and actors among others. Of particular interest arepapers that focus on the countries which are called the “rising powers” such asTurkey, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, India and China. However, our scope is notlimited to these countries. Therefore, submissions focusing on other countriesare also welcome.We seekpapers and panel proposals by both academic and non-academic (journalists,activists etc) participants.  Potentialthemes of the conference include but are not limited to: State-DiasporaRelations: Institutions, Actors and ProcessesDiasporaGovernance and DiplomacyTransnationalGovernance of Culture and IdentityEconomicsof Diaspora Governance: Remittances and DevelopmentReturn ofHighly-Skilled Migrants, Diaspora Entrepreneurs and the Scientific DiasporaExpatriateVoting and Political Participation in Home and Host CountriesEngagingthe Second GenerationReaction todiaspora-engagement policies among migrants
