Description:

The episode probes the challenge of migration for the image and reality of nation states. Issues include treatment of migrants as a component of a 'good' image, with special note of the disproportionate role taken by Turkey and Jordan. Simon muses that the Swedish far right may be negatively branding their own country to deter migration. Nick recalls the benefits of unintended exchanges that arise from the positive treatment of refugees. The episode considers the experience of countries known for sending migrants and potential for diaspora diplomacy campaigns. The episode ends with a discussion of the risk to image for countries unwilling to accept migrants and most especially for Japan.
