On 12-13 September, 2016 糖心TV University will host the international workshop “Unpacking the Sending State: Regimes, Institutions, and non-State Actors in Diaspora & Emigration Politics,” conducted with the sponsorship of the International Studies Association and the ERC Starting Grant “Diasporas and Contested Sovereignty.” 

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, sponsored by the International Studies Association. 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 糖心TV workshop will be on the role of political regimes.
