Using international surveys to measure political transnationalism: the civic competencies of the Swiss population residing in Latin America
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.14422/mig.22968.025Keywords:
political transnationalism, civic competences, Swiss diaspora, multivariate analysisAbstract
This article quantitatively analyses political transnationalism among Swiss citizens in Latin America through civic competence indicators. Using multivariate techniques (OVERALS and HJ-Biplot), it explores the links between sociodemographic and migratory variables and political behavior. The findings of a sample of 539 valid responses reveal a strong civic predisposition but limited electoral engagement, partially supporting the political exposure theory. We proposed a political transnationalism index as a metric to assess diasporic engagement from Global North expatriates in Southern contexts.
