Migration and Political Behavior is an account of the impact
migration has on the political behavior of individual migrants both
abroad and in their society of origin. It analyzes how migrants
adapt to a political system that may be distinct and which may
result in a distinct pattern of political behavior. It further
analyzes lingering effects living in a different society may have
on a migrant's political behavior on returning to the society of
origin. Migration and Political Behavior shows that sojourning
alters dramatically the political involvement of a discrete group
of migrants, depressing their political participation while abroad.
It further shows, however, what little impact such an experience
has on migrant political activity on their return home. These
findings highlight the greater impact of institutional factors on
the political participation of individual political actors relative
to their individual attributes. Migration and Political Behavior
will be of great interest to students of migration generally as
well as social scientists in the fields of political science,
sociology and anthropology.
