Wp 3: Mobilising Diasporas: A Governmentality Analysis Of The Case Of Mexico

Abstract

Abstract The recent debate about the ‘diffusion of authority’ in international governance relates to the ways in which the increasing involvement of non-state actors has shifted authority in the international system towards new sites and actors. Thereby, one actor that supposedly plays an increasingly important role in international affairs has so far not received much attention in this literature: diasporas or migrant groups. In the diaspora literature, on the other hand, not much has been written about the broader implications of such diaspora policies in terms of changing forms of governance and ‘authority’ in the international system. This paper addresses this blindspot between the IR literature on non-state actors and governance and the literature on diasporas, in order to situate the phenomenon of increasing diaspora activities in the debate on changing forms of international governance. Using a Foucauldian governmentality analysis to examine the broader implications of changing forms of governing diasporas in the Mexico-US context, this paper situates the current debate around the increasing involvement of diaspora and other non-state actors within the broader shift towards neo-liberal forms of governing. The main argument is that the construction of diasporas as agents and the increasing involvement of the diaspora, as illustrated in the case of Mexico, is an expression of broader transformations under way towards neo-liberal governmentality. This shift towards neo-liberal governmentality involves the responsibilisation and disciplining of civil society actors, such as the diaspora, while at the same time opening space for new forms of resistance and empowerment. This, it is argued, leads to the transformation of state-diaspora and more broadly state-civil society relations and a redrawing of public-private boundaries. Zusammenfassung Die Debatte in den Internationalen Beziehungen um die ‘Diffusion der Autorität’ in Prozessen der internationalen Gouvernanz dreht sich um die wachsende Involvierung von Nicht-staatlichen Akteuren und deren Auswirkung auf die Ausbreitung und Zerstreuung der Autorität im international System hin zu neuen Räumen und Akteuren. Eine Akteursgruppe hat in dieser Debatte bisher eher wenig Aufwerksamkeit erhalten: MigrantInnen- und Diasporagruppen. Im Gegensatz dazu, hat sich die Diaspora Literatur bis anhin nicht wirklich mit den breiteren Auswirkungen der Diaspora-Politik auf Transformationen von Gouvernanz und Autorität im internationalen System beschäftigt. Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit dieser Forschungslücke zwischen der IB Literatur zu Nicht-Staatlichen Akt-euren und der Diaspora Literatur, indem er das Phänomen der wachsenden Diaspora Aktivitäten in der Debatte um die ‚Diffusion der Autorität’ situiert. Mit Hilfe einer Foucauld-schen Gouvernmentalitäts-Analyse werden die Auswirkungen von neuen Formen der Gouvernanz von Diasporas im US-Mexiko Kontext untersucht. Dieser Artikel vertritt das Argument, dass die soziale Konstruktion von Diaspora als ‚Akteur’, und die damit einher-gehenden Diaspora-Aktivitäten Ausdruck einer Transformation der Gouvernanz hin zu einer neo-liberalen Gouvernmentalität darstellen. Dies impliziert eine intensivere Verant-wortung und Disziplinierung für Diaspora Akteure und die Zivilgesellschaft allgemein, öffnet aber auch neue Räme für Widerstand und Empowerment.
