Why Do Non‐Resident Citizens Get Elected? Candidates' Electoral Success in Ecuadorian Extraterritorial Districts

“…To assess party affiliation, we employ two indicators: first, if the candidate is affiliated with the party that won in the concurrent presidential election; second, if the candidate is affiliated with the party that has most strongly advocated for the right to vote for Ecuadorians living abroad (see Supplementary File, Table A3). While the former measure relates to coattail effects, especially pertinent in current hyper-presidential systems with closed electoral lists like Ecuador (Abad et al, 2022;Basabe-Serrano, 2018;Castellanos Santamaría et al, 2021), the latter is associated with migration studies literature that points to an advantage for parties that lead the emigrant enfranchisement process (e.g., Turcu & Urbatsch, 2020).…”

Caminos al poder político: el efecto de la magnitud del distrito y la experiencia previa para las carreras políticas de congresistas en Colombia

“…Después de revisar los diversos tipos de carreras y ambiciones de los legisladores, es esencial destacar una disparidad en el enfoque de investigación, con una preeminencia de análisis centrados en carreras estáticas o la reelección en comparación con carreras regresivas y discretas (véase Gráfico 1). Además, la escasez de trabajos sobre carreras regresivas se ha centrado principalmente en países federales, mientras que los análisis sobre carreras regresivas y discretas en países unitarios se han limitado principalmente al caso ecuatoriano (Arévalo Jaramillo, 2017;Basabe-Serrano, 2018). Por lo tanto, dada la presencia de cacicazgos electorales y líderes emergentes en Colombia (Botero, 2008;Duque Daza, 2005;, el país se presenta como un caso de estudio adecuado para analizar los factores que explican los diversos tipos de carreras y ambiciones políticas que pueden desarrollar los congresistas al finalizar su mandato.…”

Should We Go Abroad? The Strategic Entry of Ecuadorian Political Parties in Overseas Electoral Districts

“…In this article, we rely on the few analyses of party positions in international projects and on secondary literature (e.g. Basabe-Serrano, 2018;Moncagatta & Espinosa, 2019;Norris, 2020), as well as our own analysis of available party manifestos to assess parties' ideological positioning on the left-right scale and on policies designed for emigrants. Our database contains many missing values for party positions on migration, especially for older and smaller parties.…”
