“…Substantiating this, research indicates that parties endorsing enfranchisement processes receive electoral support throughout several elections (Østergaard-Nielsen et al, 2019;Waterbury, 2020;Wellman, 2021). Notably, recent analyses reveal that migrants' political preferences can either catalyze or impede party involvement abroad (Turcu & Urbatsch, 2020). The accelerated proliferation of overseas party activities cannot be solely attributed to pragmatic electoral advantages.…”

“…Research on parties operating abroad sheds light on logistical challenges that constrain the expansion of structural networks beyond national borders (Caramani & Grotz, 2015). Scholars also document migrants' general disaffection with homeland politics and parties, thereby raising the costs associated with mobilization abroad (Turcu & Urbatsch, 2020).…”

This article contends that contemporary transnational dynamics have given rise to novel political subjects and territories for political engagement. By looking at how parties as organizational actors operate abroad, this study reworks extant classificatory attempts and proposes an amended typology in which the salient elements of variation are the origin of the party abroad and the degree of formalization. These two dimensions produce a matrix delineating four distinct types of party organization: branch-abroad, organization-abroad in franchising, committee-abroad, and semi-political structures. Conceptually, the typology elucidates the multifaceted nature of the structural approaches employed by home parties in their endeavors to establish connections with communities abroad. Empirically, this contribution enhances the comparability between organizational configurations abroad and extant research on party structures at the national level.

“…This hypothesis extends and synthesizes previous findings of electoral results hinting at related outcomes. In the specifically European context, for example, previous studies have found that emigrant voters tend to be relatively avid supporters of green parties, a usually cosmopolitan, anti-populist party family, while eschewing more localist and sometimes crypto-populist agrarian parties (Turcu and Urbatsch, 2020a, 2020b).…”

Populist parties—which typically denounce migrants, globalization, and policy outcomes appreciated by emigrants, and which in turn typically make few efforts to persuade or mobilize expatriate citizens—are likely to see lower vote shares among those voting from abroad. Legislative election results from fifty countries worldwide confirm the hypothesis that more populist parties tend to receive lower shares of out-of-country than of in-country votes: low-populism parties receive roughly the same vote share abroad as they do domestically, while high-populism parties on average receive a third less of the diaspora vote than they do of the domestic vote.
