jm.lafleur@ulg.ac.be
Jean-Michel Lafleur holds a joint PhD in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Liège and the Institut d’Etudes Poltiques in Paris. His dissertation on Political transnationalism and the State focused on the right to vote from abroad of Mexican, Italian and Belgian emigrants and on its implications for the migrant’s home and host societies. Jean-Michel is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research (FRS-FNRS) and is attached to the Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CEDEM) of the University of Liège. His first book Le transnationalisme politique. Pouvoir des communautés immigrées dans leurs pays d’accueil et pays d’origine (Academia-Bruylant, 2005) looked at the persisting political linkages between the emigrants and the country of origin while his second book Transnational Politics from a Transatlantic Perspective (co-edited with Marco Martiniello, forthcoming) looks at the different approaches that develop on these question in Europe and North America. In addition, Jean-Michel also works on cultural practices (and music especially) as a mean of political expression for ethnic and migrant communities, and has co-directed a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies on the topic (with Marco Martiniello, 2008).
