Description: Transnational Politics and the State : The External Voting Rights of Diasporas, Hardcover by Lafleur, Jean-michel, ISBN 0415584507, ISBN-13 9780415584500, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Exploring the topic of external voting rights of citizens living outside of national territories, Lafleur (Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies, U. de Liège, Belgium) primarily addresses three main issues: the reasons why states give voting privileges to citizens residing abroad, understanding the responses of emigrants to their enfranchisement, and determining external voting's impact on the relations between emigrants and their host and home societies. After describing the general development of external voting policies around the world, he identifies emigrant lobbying, home-state dependence on remittances, home-state desire to use emigrants as resources in the global economy, regime transformation in the home country, and the electoral interests of domestic political parties as the key factors determining why states grant external voting rights and examines the operation of these variables in relation to the cases of Mexico and Italy. He then considers how emigrants respond to enfranchisement by considering voter turnout and participation, as well as how political opinions about home country affairs are formed abroad, again focusing on Mexico and Italy, as well as Bolivia. Finally, he considers emigrant-state relations in terms of emigrant ability to influence electoral results and participation in host state politics. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
