Накратко на български
Политическите права на емигрантите се анализират чрез причините за разширяване на правото им да гласуват и стратегиите на кандидатите за парламент в Италия. Това помага да се разбере как мобилните граждани участват в управлението на страните си.

EMIGRANT POLITICAL INCORPORATION: POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Internationally mobile citizens pose a challenge to policy-makers concerned with their political rights and participation. There has been a remarkable rise in countries extending voting rights to their non-resident citizens (emigrants) over the last two decades with 115 countries granting such rights by 2007. This raises important questions regarding the reasons for this increase in policies of enfranchisement of emigrants and their influence on processes of political incorporation of emigrants. This project examines these issues along two main research objectives: First, it investigates the policies of emigrant participation by questioning why parties support extending voting rights to emigrants. This is through a mixed methods approach including a large N study and contextualised analysis of the framing of support. Second, the research focuses on practices and processes of emigrant political incorporation. This will be analysed through a study of emigrant candidates, which are running for office in parliamentary elections in the Italian election in 2013. The project will compare the profile, motivation and strategies of the candidates in their negotiation with the political parties for whom they candidate. The research, carried out at Harvard University and the Autonomous University and Barcelona, will contribute to current European policy debates on the quality and effectiveness of transnational electoral participation of mobile citizens. Among the main conclusions of the project related to policies of emigrant incorporation are that party support for emigrant voting rights aligns with left-right position of parties as well as their position on policies on immigration related issues. In terms of the research on practices of emigrant political incorporation the study of the legislative recruitment of emigrant candidates’ in the 2013 Italian election shows that the profile and motivation among candidates are related to the political distance to the homeland as well as the particular recruitment strategies of the political parties in the homeland.

Цел на проекта
Internationally mobile citizens pose a challenge to policy-makers concerned with their political rights and participation. There has been a remarkable rise in countries extending voting rights to their non-resident citizens (emigrants) over the last two decades with 115 countries granting such rights by 2007. This project will examine the political participation and incorporation of emigrants along two main research objectives: First, it investigates the policies and politics of emigrant participation by questioning why states grant emigrants external voting rights. This will be done through a mixed methods approach including a) a large-N study where the main predictors include both transnational and domestic political variables; and b) a focused comparison of three cases (Spain, Italy, France) which compare the role of key stakeholders (including political parties and emigrants) in both the initial process of emigrant enfranchisement and subsequent restrictions or extensions to these rights. Second, the research focuses on practices and processes of emigrant political incorporation. This will be analyzed through a comparative study of the emigrant candidates based in North America, which are running for office in parliamentary elections in Italy and France. The project will compare the profile, motivation and strategies of the candidates in their negotiation with the political parties for whom they candidate. The research, to be carried out at Harvard University and the Autonomous University of Barcelona, presents a unique opportunity to build a transatlantic network and strengthen both my analytical and methodological toolkit. This will significantly enhance my career prospects. The project is expected to contribute to European policy debates on how to ensure more effective political participation of mobile citizens in their homeland.
