摘要	Diaspora engagement mapping is a systematic method for inventorying the institutions and policies through which states reach out to, claim, and govern their populations abroad. Alan Gamlen's 2014 work on diaspora institutions and diaspora governance showed that since the 1990s a striking number of states have created dedicated ministries, offices, councils, and programs aimed at emigrants and their descendants, turning the diaspora into an object of deliberate statecraft. The method catalogues these bodies and classifies what they do, distinguishing capacity-building (cultivating a diaspora identity and the institutions to reach it), extending rights (offering citizenship, voting, and protections abroad), and extracting obligations (mobilizing remittances, investment, lobbying, and taxes). By coding which instruments each state deploys and how they change over time, the analyst maps the evolving web of ties binding origin states to their emigrants. The product is both a descriptive atlas of who is governed how and an analytic tool for comparing diaspora-engagement strategies across countries and explaining why they spread.	The Migrant Integration Policy Index, known as MIPEX and maintained by the Migration Policy Group and CIDOB with its 2020 edition by Solano and Huddleston, measures not how integrated immigrants are but how well a country's policies support their integration. It scores national laws and regulations across eight policy domains — labour-market mobility, family reunification, education, health, political participation, permanent residence, access to nationality, and anti-discrimination — by having country experts code each policy against a benchmark of the highest equal-treatment standard. Each indicator is scored on a simple scale anchored to legal text, domain scores are averaged, and the eight domains combine into a single composite that ranks dozens of countries on a comparable 0-to-100 scale. The result is a transparent, benchmarked scorecard of integration policy that lets researchers, governments, and advocates compare national approaches and track them over multiple editions. MIPEX measures the policy environment as an input to integration, complementing individual-level outcome measures such as survey-based integration indices.
