Voting across borders? The electoral consequences of individual transnationalism / F. Visconti. - In: JOURNAL OF ELECTIONS, PUBLIC OPINION AND PARTIES. - ISSN 1745-7289. - (2023), pp. 1-20. [Epub ahead of print] [10.1080/17457289.2023.2241817]
Abstract:
This article investigates the association between individual-level
transnationalism, interactions and cultural skills cutting across European
Union (EU) member states, and voting behaviour in the 2019 European
elections. The process of EU integration has expanded significantly virtual
and physical forms of cross-border mobility in the last decades. Previous
works have shown that transnational social exchange furthers Europhile
attitudes and dilutes fears for immigrants. Against this backdrop, it is argued
that people with high levels of transnationalism have the incentive to vote
for parties with pro-EU integration and pro-immigration platforms. Empirical
analyses conducted on original public opinion data show that transnational
traits significantly affected vote choices in the 2019 European elections.
Individual transnationalism is relevant per se in increasing the probability of
voting for green and radical-left parties, instead, its negative association with
voting for radical right parties runs through EU and immigration attitudes.
