Building on Matland’s ([1995]. “Synthesizing the Implementation Literature: The Ambiguity-conflict Model of Policy Implementation.” Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory 5 (2): 145–174.) ambiguity-conflict policy processes and implementation matrix, I create a conceptual categorization of limits to expatriates’ voting rights.

What explains diaspora support for populist presidential candidates? Existing findings suggest most diaspora voters are less likely to support populist candidates. However, there are notable exceptions among Latin American diasporas. We posit educated diasporas will be less likely to support populist candidates and political socialization in destin...

Traditional accounts of franchise extension suggest that governments’ motivations are either political (new voters are expected to support the incumbent government) or, in the case of citizens abroad, materialist (a fortified link to migrants encourages remittance flows).
