International migrants’ cross-border political activities challenge singular notions of national citizenship and political belonging. Yet most sociological studies of migrants’ transnational political engagement are based on single national groups in the USA, and limit themselves to examining how assimilation and contexts of reception determine migrants’ propensity to engage with homeland politics—thereby under theorizing the influence of origin countries. This study moves beyond this approach by recognizing the multi-directionality of migration, and testing the applicability of existing theoretical approaches across two different origins and receiving contexts. We compare a sample of Colombian and Dominican migrants in Spain and Italy, analyzing how contexts in countries of origin, as well as migrants’ social networks across borders, interact with assimilation and contexts of reception to determine migrants’ political transnational engagement. Findings reveal migrants’ transnational political engagement in Spain and Italy appears to be a highly selective process dominated by a small minority of well-educated males from high social status in origin. Findings also suggest immigrant incorporation and transnational political engagement form a dialectical relationship operating at different scales that is simultaneously complementary and contradictory. Contextual conditions in origin countries explain observed much of variation in Colombian and Dominican migrants’ transnational political engagement.

移民在西班牙和意大利的跨国政治参与

国际移民的跨境政治活动挑战了国家公民身份和政治归属感的单一概念。然而,大多数关于移民跨国政治参与的社会学研究都是基于美国的单一民族群体,并且仅限于研究同化和接受的背景如何决定移民参与本国政治的倾向——从而对原籍国的影响进行理论化。本研究超越了这种方法,认识到迁移的多向性,并测试现有理论方法在两个不同来源和接收环境中的适用性。我们比较了西班牙和意大利的哥伦比亚和多米尼加移民样本,分析了原籍国的背景以及移民跨越国界的社交网络,与同化和接受环境相互作用,以确定移民的政治跨国参与。调查结果显示,移民在西班牙和意大利的跨国政治参与似乎是一个高度选择性的过程,由少数来自高社会地位、受过良好教育的男性主导。调查结果还表明,移民融入和跨国政治参与形成了一种辩证关系,在不同尺度上运作,既互补又矛盾。原籍国的背景条件解释了哥伦比亚和多米尼加移民跨国政治参与中观察到的许多差异。调查结果显示,移民在西班牙和意大利的跨国政治参与似乎是一个高度选择性的过程,由少数来自高社会地位、受过良好教育的男性主导。调查结果还表明,移民融入和跨国政治参与形成了一种辩证关系,在不同尺度上运作,既互补又矛盾。原籍国的背景条件解释了哥伦比亚和多米尼加移民跨国政治参与中观察到的许多差异。调查结果显示,移民在西班牙和意大利的跨国政治参与似乎是一个高度选择性的过程,由少数来自高社会地位、受过良好教育的男性主导。调查结果还表明,移民融入和跨国政治参与形成了一种辩证关系,在不同尺度上运作,既互补又矛盾。原籍国的背景条件解释了哥伦比亚和多米尼加移民跨国政治参与中观察到的许多差异。调查结果还表明,移民融入和跨国政治参与形成了一种辩证关系,在不同尺度上运作,既互补又矛盾。原籍国的背景条件解释了哥伦比亚和多米尼加移民跨国政治参与中观察到的许多差异。调查结果还表明,移民融入和跨国政治参与形成了一种辩证关系,在不同尺度上运作,既互补又矛盾。原籍国的背景条件解释了哥伦比亚和多米尼加移民跨国政治参与中观察到的许多差异。
