El impacto de la (in)seguridad ciudadana y la inmigración en el apoyo a la democracia. Evidencia observacional de Ecuador (2020-2024)
In Latin America, although the impact of contextual determinants on democratic disaffection has been investigated, the nexus between anti-immigrant attitudes, perceptions of citizen (in)security, and support for democracy has not been systematically examined. The goal of this article, therefore, is to contribute to filling this gap through an analysis of the Ecuadorian case—a country marked by institutional crises and a massive inflow of immigran…
Does clientelism pay off abroad? Emigrant voting in Southern and Eastern Europe
Between ‘Approval’ and ‘Rejection’
This article examines how the political resocialisation of Chilean emigrants shapes their electoral preferences in constitutional plebiscites. We propose a set of hypotheses linking democracy levels in residence countries, prior electoral experience, ideology, and exposure to constitutional reforms abroad to voting behaviour. Using both administrative and individual‐level data, our analysis yields three key findings. First, Chileans residing in l…
Intra-EU migration and healthcare deservingness
Pathways to external citizenship
The extension of dual citizenship and external voting rights over the past decades has been widely observed. Both trends contribute to the phenomenon of external citizenship, where citizens residing abroad hold rights to political participation irrespective of other transnational ties. Yet these trends have been studied in a disconnected manner. This is remarkable as the exercise of external voting requires nationals abroad to keep a legal link w…
Why Do Non‐Resident Citizens Get Elected? Candidates' Electoral Success in Ecuadorian Extraterritorial Districts
To the growing literature on non-resident citizens’ special representation, we contribute with a systematic examination of the role of descriptive representation of citizens living abroad in elections for extraterritorial districts. Using data for the 308 candidacy observations in three two-seat extraterritorial districts in five legislative elections held between 2007 and 2021 in Ecuador, for a total of 30 seats, we test four hypotheses related …
Evaluating special representation of non‐resident citizens
So far, 21 countries have introduced—and some thereafter withdrawn—reserved legislative seats for their citizens living abroad. Existing literature on this form of special representation has studied this topic either empirically or normatively. We bring these two approaches together based on the main dimensions of institutional variation of special representation: (1) eligibility, (2) constituency structure and (3) electoral proportionality. We f…
Introduction
Ever-increasing international migration has challenged the democratic dimension of political inclusion, especially with incorporating non-resident populations into national electoral practices. This has stimulated scholars to examine more closely the processes of emigrant enfranchisement, transnational voting behaviour and non-electoral participation by non-residents. Yet, a lack of comprehensive dialogue exists between migration studies and the …
Explaining support for populists among external voters
Contributing to the emerging debate on non-resident citizens’ electoral preferences, this article addresses how migratory contexts affect their propensity to vote for populists. Employing two original datasets with information of external voting results from Latin America and Southern Europe, this study suggests that while external voters are on average slightly less likely to vote for populists than domestic voters, this varies meaningfully from…
Should We Go Abroad? The Strategic Entry of Ecuadorian Political Parties in Overseas Electoral Districts
The literature on external voting overlooks why some political parties campaign abroad while others remain focused on the national territory. This article investigates the determinants of the strategic entry of political parties in overseas districts through analysing legislative elections in Ecuador (2007–2017). Based on a study of the incentives and constraints of political party presence abroad, we find that parties are more likely to compete …
When migrants become ‘the people
The emerging debate on transnational populism has thus far mainly focused on cases, which have remained relatively inconsequential due to the weak institutionalisation of the political transnationalism arena. By bringing in a better-structured arena of migrant transnationalism, this paper introduces populist political parties mobilising transnational migrants to the debate and explores the resulting phenomenon of homeland populism. The paper inve…
Enacted but neither regulated nor applied
Some states that enacted external voting rights decades ago have still not regulated or applied these rights, leaving emigrants unable to participate in elections. Searching for why the emigrant enfranchisement process remains incomplete, I map countries as either typical (fast-track or slow-paced) or deviant (stagnant, interrupted, or outlier) cases. Then I review the legal background of emigrant enfranchisement in the stagnant case of Nicaragua…

Populismo y polarización política en la Región Andina. Entre los líderes y la demanda populista
Este artculo combina el estudio del populismo y la polarizacin poltica en Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador y Per. Utilizando datos agregados de la regin andina, se indica una relacin significativa entre la presencia de lderes populistas y el incremento en la polarizacin poltica. Luego, empleando datos individuales provenientes de una encuesta en lnea a ecuatorianos mayores de 16 aos, aplicada en 2019, 2020 y 2021, se consideran las actitudes polticas p…
Political Regimes and External Voting Rights
In this article, we analyze the nexus between political regimes and external voting rights. Using a global longitudinal dataset, we report that higher levels of inclusion and contestation bring higher probabilities that a state adopts and implements emigrant enfranchisement. Taking outliers from our quantitative assessment, we then further examine two liberal democracies, Ireland and Uruguay, and two electoral autocracies, Turkey and Venezuela. T…
Cambiando la cerradura. Intenciones legislativas del proyecto de ley de migraciones en Chile
Objetivo/contexto: las democracias latinoamericanas del siglo XXI enfrentan una tensión entre “proteger” la soberanía estatal con políticas inmigratorias más restrictivas y adscribirse a los diálogos y acuerdos internacionales más liberales, que promocionan los derechos y la movilidad humana. Una mayor migración intrarregional, especialmente desde Venezuela, ha llevado a varios países a restringir derechos y libertades previamente reconocidos. Nu…
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
In 2020, Ecuadorian politics was not only constrained by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also stirred by political instability and an intense online electoral campaign. In this article, we outline the Ecuadorian economic, social, and political context from February 2020 to February 2021. Then, we explore the core measures and overall impacts of the COVID-19 on Ecuadorian politics. We also present the main institutional and policy changes, bearing in m…
Inclusive Language for Exclusive Policies
Contemporary liberal democracies have employed exclusive or restrictive language, such as promising stricter border control, to ease domestic concerns about increased immigration, while simultaneously maintaining inclusive outcomes by accepting immigrants to support labor markets or to concur with global norms. Dynamic changes in migration flows disrupt this exclusive–inclusive balance known as the policy gap. Aligned with the South American shif…
Acción política populista en movimiento? Las demandas sociales de la Conaie y las feministas en Ecuador (2007–2019)
Las movilizaciones de octubre de 2019 en Ecuador, invitan a estudiar la relación entre el populismo y la sociedad civil organizada. En este artículo exploramos la construcción de la movilización social indígena y feminista en Ecuador desde las demandas sociales construidas en el discurso de sus miembros, en el periodo de 2007–2019. Empleando un enfoque de investigación cualitativa, por medio de entrevistas a profundidad a miembros/líderes de esto…
Liderazgo femenino en los diarios digitales El Comercio y El Universo de Ecuador
En los últimos años, la presencia femenina ha aumentado en las instituciones políticas ecuatorianas. Sin embargo, la visibilidad de la mujer en el espacio público continúa siendo limitada. En este contexto, resulta pertinente investigar cómo estas mujeres son representadas en los medios digitales. Para ello, se realiza un estudio descriptivo de la caracterización socio-demográfica de las mujeres en la opinión publicada en los diarios digitales El…

Emigración y representación especial
La mayoría de países del mundo han otorgado derechos de ciudadanía a sus emigrantes, en particular el voto externo y la doble ciudadanía. Sin embargo, existe un sistema electoral relativamente nuevo que los países están gradualmente legislando e implementando: la representación especial (la representación política de los emigrantes en las legislaturas nacionales del país de origen). En la actualidad, 14 Estados en África, Europa y América Latina …
