| Summary |
This book analyzes the unfolding of a new institutional phenomenon: the cosmonational parliament of the cross-border nation and the expanded state, focusing on three European national parliaments, namely the French Senate, the Italian Chamber of Representatives and Senate, and the Croatian unicameral parliament. The merging of homeland and diaspora, which results in the formation of an expanded and cross-border nation, has helped to transform the national legislature into a cosmonational parliament governed by representatives from these two segments of the population. The book analyzes the deployment of diaspora representation in homeland parliaments in its various forms, and compares this deployment in three European national settings in an effort to explain the multiple dimensions of this new cosmonational parliament model |

"Parliament and Diaspora in Europe offers a rich comparative study of the structure of representation in the three 'cosmonations' - nations in which the national citizenry represented in parliament includes both residents of the national territory and emigres residing abroad. Laguerre offers foundational insights into the process of institutionalized political connections between emigres and their country-of-origin that a single nation case study could not have."--Louis DeSipio, Professor, Political Science, University of California Irvine |
