Ethnic and immigrant politics vs. mainstream politics: the role of ethnic organizations in shaping the political participation of immigrant-origin individuals in Europe 族群、移民政治与主流政治:欧洲的族群组织在移民个人的政治参与中的角色 Abstract: Previous scholarship has reported contradictory results regarding the impact of involvement by immigrant-origin individuals (IOIs) in ethnic organizations on political participation. In this article, we assess the effect of involvement in different types of organizations (ethnic, pan-immigrant and native) on participation in various types of political activities. We use cross-national micro-data from a population survey undertaken in 2004-2008 to IOIs in nine European cities. Our findings indicate that ethnic organizations perform an integrative function for IOIs in the political sphere, but they mainly affect participation linked to immigration-related issues concerning specific ethnic groups and IOIs. Moreover, most effects of involvement in ethnic organizations on the different types of political participation examined are similar in closed and in open political opportunity structures (POS). We only find evidence that involvement in ethnic organizations depresses conventional political action in open POS settings while it increases political action in closed POS settings. 摘要:以往的学术研究报道了移民个人(IOI)参与少数族裔组织对政治参与的影响的相互矛盾的结果。在这篇文章中,我们评估参与不同类型的组织(族群,泛移民和本地人)对参与各种类型的政治活动的影响。我们使用跨国家的微观数据,其来源于九个欧洲城市在2004年-2008年进行人口调查的IOI数据。我们的研究结果表明,少数族群组织在政治领域将对IOI执行融合的功能,但这主要影响特定族群和IOI的与移民相关问题的参与。此外,参与少数族群组织对不同类型的政治参与的作用与封闭的和开放的政治机会结构(POS,political opportunity structures)类似。我们发现的证据表明,参与少数族群组织压抑了开放POS环境中常规的政治行动,而增加的封闭的POS环境中的政治行动。 作者: Pilati, Katia; Morales, Laura 来源:ETHNIC AND RACIAL STUDIES 卷: 39 期: 15 页: 2796-2817 出版年: DEC 2016 (责任编辑:admin) |
