This chapter provides a historical overview of Italian emigration history to understand the significance of the presence of Italian citizens around the world and the continuing enlargement of the Italian transnational community over the decades. The chapter explores the importance of the Italian diaspora with a specific focus on the presence of Italians in Australia since Australia has historically been one of the most popular emigration destinations for Italians in the second half of the twentieth century. This chapter also discusses the evolution of debates about two key policy issues that have been central to the expansion of the Italian diaspora: the Italian dual citizenship policy, which has enlarged the Italian community abroad, and the implementation of external voting, which allows Italians living overseas to cast a vote in Italian national elections and referendums.

摘要

This chapter provides a historical overview of Italian emigration history to understand the significance of the presence of Italian citizens around the world and the continuing enlargement of the Italian transnational community over the decades. The chapter explores the importance of the Italian diaspora with a specific focus on the presence of Italians in Australia since Australia has historically been one of the most popular emigration destinations for Italians in the second half of the twentieth century. This chapter also discusses the evolution of debates about two key policy issues that have been central to the expansion of the Italian diaspora: the Italian dual citizenship policy, which has enlarged the Italian community abroad, and the implementation of external voting, which allows Italians living overseas to cast a vote in Italian national elections and referendums.
