Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Until the outbreak of World War I, the region that was to become the state of Yugoslavia experienced massive overseas emigration. Both in the interwar period and after 1945, Yugoslav policy-makers reflected on how to integrate these emigrants into their respective nation- and state-building projects. I argue that despite the substantial differences in the political orders, the politics of emigration in interwar and socialist Yugoslavia were remarkably similar. They were based on the idea of a transterritorial nation held together by culture and descent. Hence, in both periods, the state claimed symbolic sovereignty over emigrants who lived outside its sovereign purview.
