Abstract

This study addresses the development of public policies within transnational spaces and, in particular, states’ attempts to establish or cultivate links with citizens residing abroad. This practice has intensified lately in all regions of the world and carries important implications for the evolutions of the concepts of sovereignty and citizenship, as well as citizens’ exercise of their political rights. This work focuses on the case of Argentina in the 2000-2015 period to observe recent attempts to reach out to Argentines abroad. It analyses the evolution of state initiatives and the factors shaping emigrants’ responses, with particular emphasis on the exercise of voting rights from afar. The study contributes to unveil the political and institutional dynamics surrounding attempts to govern populations across geographical distances and the redefinition of citizenship beyond borders in one of the least explored cases in the literature.
