Abstract
The global expansion of capitalism and the concurrent rise of an international system of nation-states are the backdrop against which this article defines emigration, immigration, and citizenship. The article identifies the major features of modern mass migration, outlines an analytic approach to avoid the pitfalls of nationally based biases in studying immigration, emigration, and citizenship, and presents a case study to illustrate the benefits of this approach.
