Just Talk? International Migration, Cross-Border Communication and Political Tolerance in Latin America
How does communication between immigrants from Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries to the United States (émigrés) and their household members who continue to live in LAC (stayers) influence stayers' political tolerance? Using survey data from the Americas Barometer, we find that cross-border communication strengthens stayers' political tolerance. We argue that this is because international emigration diversifies the social context and co…
Issue-Areas, Sovereignty Costs, and North Americans’ Attitudes Toward Regional Cooperation
Studies of public opinion toward regionalism tend to rely on questions regarding trade integration and specific regional organizations. This narrow focus overlooks dimensions of regionalism that sit at the heart of international relations research on regions today. Instead, we argue that research should explore public preferences with respect to regional cooperation in different issue-areas. We find that people's views of regional cooperation in …
Migrant transnationalism in violent democracies
We can strengthen our understanding of the relationship between transnational migration and origin-country politics by starting with the premise that violence is a key feature of democratic politics in many migrant-sending countries. Violent democracies are peacetime countries in which the legitimate means to accessing power are no longer violently contested; yet at the substate level, manifold political actors regularly use violence to compete f…
The 3×1 Program for migrants and vigilante groups in contemporary Mexico
What explains the emergence of armed vigilante groups in Mexico over the past decade? This article links the recent emergence of armed vigilante organisations to United States-Mexico migration. Drawing on an original dataset collected from 2352 Mexican municipalities between 2002 and 2013, we find that a given community's participation in programmes through which migrant organisations called hometown associations (HTAs) produce public goods in co…
Migrants and Political Change in Latin America
How do international migrants affect their origin countries’ politics? Drawing on evidence from the cases of Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico, Migrants and Political Change in Latin America argues that migrants gain new attitudes and economic resources as a result of experiences in their receiving countries that they then transmit to their origin countries through economic and social remittances and through return migration. Jiménez claims that by t…
Talk Without Borders: Why Political Discussion Makes Latin Americans With Relatives Abroad More Critical of Their Democracies
Mulling over politics with others can change citizens’ political beliefs and choices. Is the effect of interpersonal political discussion different when one of the interlocutors has a family member living abroad—that is, is a “transnational household member” (THM)? Using data from 20 Latin American countries in the 2006-2008 AmericasBarometer, we show that talking about politics makes THMs less satisfied with their democracies and less proud of t…
Cross-Border Discussions and Political Behavior in Migrant-Sending Countries
Do Migrants Remit Democracy? International Migration, Political Beliefs, and Behavior in Mexico
International migrants are agents of democratic diffusion. They spread attitudes and behaviors absorbed in democratic host countries to their less democratic home countries by way of three processes: (a) migrant returns, (b) cross-border communication between migrants still abroad and their friends and family back home, and (c) migrant information networks in high-volume migration-producing communities. Marshaling data from an original June 2006 …
