Biography
Ana Margheritis is Reader in International Relations at the University of Southampton. Her areas of expertise include transnational migration, comparative regional integration, foreign policy, inter-American relations, and Latin American political economy.
'Margheritis makes an important contribution to the growing literature on diaspora policies by providing an original, detailed analysis of South American countries' recent efforts to establish or intensify linkages with their emigrant populations. Her work offers a much-needed comparative lens and situates the development of these policies in a regional context. The focus on these cases challenges existing assumptions about why, when and how states extend emigration policies towards their citizens living abroad.' - Alexandra Delano Alonso, Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility, The New School, USA
'Margheritis’ bet for ‘deep understanding of complex cases’ pays off for the reader of this extraordinary study. Some of the hypotheses she suggests for further test and study are worth mentioning, as to invite more readers to get involved with this truly creative book.' - Luicy Pedroza, Migration Studies
