This book is the first to analyze the impacts of migration and
transnationalism on global Catholicism. It explores how migration
and transnationalism are producing diverse spaces and encounters
that are moulding the Roman Catholic Church as institution and
parish, pilgrimage and network, community and people. Bringing
together established and emerging scholars of sociology,
anthropology, geography, history and theology, it examines
migrants' religious transnationalism, but equally the effects of
migration-related-diversity on non-migrant Catholics and the Church
itself. This timely edited collection is organised around a series
of theoretical frameworks for understanding the intersections of
migration and Catholicism, with case studies from 17 different
countries and contexts. The extent to which migrants' religiosity
transforms Catholicism, and the negotiations of unity in diversity
within the Roman Catholic Church, are key themes throughout. This
innovative approach will appeal to scholars of migration,
transnationalism, religion, theology, and diversity.

Marek Thee was a Jewish Polish journalist, scholar, and activist.
This book tells his life from narrowly escaping death in the
Holocaust to exile in Palestine, where he became attached to the
Polish consular service. On his return to Poland in 1950, he worked
for the Foreign Ministry and later for the Polish Institute for
International Affairs. He served as Head of the Polish delegation
to the International Control Commission in Indochina in the late
1950s. In 1968 he lost his job and his Polish citizenship in a
nationalistic and antisemitic campaign. He was able to move to
Norway where he worked for twenty years at the Peace Research
Institute Oslo (PRIO), editing an international quarterly journal,
Bulletin of Peace Proposals and doing research on the arms race. In
retirement, he continued his research and writing at the Norwegian
Human Rights Institute. The book vividly relates the drama of his
life in Poland, Palestine, Indochina, and Norway.This is an open
access book.
This open access book is the first monograph that brings together
insights from comparative politics, political sociology, and
migration studies to introduce the current state of knowledge on
external voting and transnational politics. Drawing on new data
gathered within the DIASPOlitic project, which created a
comparative dataset of external voting results for 6 countries of
origin and 17 countries of residence as well as an extensive
qualitative dataset of 80 in-depth interviews with four groups of
migrants, this book not only illustrates theoretical problems with
empirical material, but also provides answers to previously
unaddressed questions. The empirical material focuses on the
European context. The Eastern Enlargement of the European Union
(2004-2007) triggered a westward wave of migration from Central and
Eastern European countries which faced the expansion of existing
emigre communities and the emergence of new ones. As this process
coincided with the expansion of migrant voting rights, the result
is a large set of populous diaspora communities which can
potentially have a significant impact on country electoral
politics, making the study of external voting highly relevant. This
book's introduction takes stock of current research on
transnational politics and external voting, presenting core
puzzles. The following chapter introduces the context of
intra-European migration and the political situation in
Central-Eastern European sending countries. The next two sections
address the empirical puzzles, drawing on new quantitative and
qualitative. The conclusion takes stock of the evidence gathered,
discusses the normative problem of non-resident voters
enfranchisement, connects external voting to the broader debate on
political remittances and finally, maps the terrain ahead for
future research. This concise, empirically grounded introduction to
external voting is critical reading in structuring the debate
around migration and shaping research agendas for the future.
