The engagement policies of Brazil and Turkey for their communities abroad in the post Cold War: a comparative analysis

Abstract

Countries with large numbers of nationals abroad have established a series of policies aimed at mobilizing the potential of emigration and emigrant communities. This article aims to make a comparative analysis of the engagement policies of Brazil and Turkey for their communities abroad in the post-Cold War, seeking to identify similarities and differences between these and the main actors responsible for formulation and implementation. It is concluded that, compared to Brazil, Turkey is in a more consolidated situation of policies due to the older history of emigration and the great social and political weight that the migratory phenomenon has for the country.
