In Latin America, the political participation of migrants in their societies of origin constitutes one of the major innovations brought by the consolidation of democracy. This paper examines the links between migrant transnational politics and democratization processes in the Dominican Republic and El Salvador. It asks whether and how migrant political participation affects the way democratic practices are institutionalized in these two countries. The results indicate that in the two cases migrant political transnationalism has been a positive force for the strengthening of the formal democratic rules of organizing political competition. The analysis also shows, however, that the contribution of migrant transnational politics to the deepening of democracy towards more participative and deliberative forms is limited. |
