As this process coincided with the expansion of migrant voting rights, the result is a large set of populous diaspora communities which can potentially have a significant impact on country electoral politics, making the study of external voting highly relevant. This book’s introduction takes stock of current research on transnational politics and external voting, presenting core puzzles. The following chapter introduces the context of intra-European migration and the political situation in Central-Eastern European sending countries. The next two sections address the empirical puzzles, drawing on new quantitative and qualitative. The conclusion takes stock of the evidence gathered, discusses the normative problem of non-resident voters enfranchisement, connects external voting to the broader debate on political remittances and finally, maps the terrain ahead for future research. This concise, empirically grounded introduction to external voting is critical reading in structuring the debate around migration and shaping research agendas for the future. 2023-01-20T16:54:58Z 2023-01-20T16:54:58Z 2023 book ONIX_20230120_9783031192463_49 9783031192463 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/60854 eng Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-19246-3.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-19246-3 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-3-031-19246-3 10.1007/978-3-031-19246-3 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 4faa9cf2-722d-4673-8c9d-e3209d05f24f 9783031192463 Palgrave Macmillan 116 Cham [...] Universitetet i Oslo University of Oslo open access

This open access book is the first monograph that brings together insights from comparative politics, political sociology, and migration studies to introduce the current state of knowledge on external voting and transnational politics.
