This book analyzes parties beyond the national borders and their
increasing institutionalization abroad, in order to understand
their development, their organizational specificities, their
functions, and their impact on the party system and national
politics at home. With 12 contrasted case studies, it comparatively
addresses a wide range of perspectives on political parties abroad
and lays the foundation for a framework of analysis of political
parties abroad, contributing to a better understanding of
transnationalism and long-distance democracy. The generalization of
overseas voting and the development of representative institutions
for emigrants has transformed the civic and political links between
states and their diaspora. This has also created new opportunities
for political parties, with the task to reach out to citizens
living abroad, mobilize them for elections, and even organize their
representation at home. This book represents the first in-depth
study of an emerging phenomenon. This book will be of key interest
to scholars and students of political parties/party politics,
immigration, and more broadly to democracy studies and comparative
politics.
