Citizenship, belonging, and identity in our globalizing world are increasingly stretched out across borders of multiple countries. Thus, state-diaspora relations and the role of the state are relevant for an understanding of emigrant engagement in the social, political, and economic development of their home nations. Using the conceptual framework of migrant transnationalism, the case of Cabo Verde is analyzed here to demonstrate how state-sponsored mechanisms can engage the diaspora in homeland politics. This paper highlights that as external citizens, emigrants remain motivated and interested in their home countries. Thus, the state can play an important role in strengthening bonds between diaspora communities and the homeland through active citizenship and the political integration of external citizens.
