Abstract

The study examines the voting preferences of Moldovan diaspora in the 2014 parliamentary elections. The paper aims to determine which political or economic circumstances in the host country have the biggest impact on determining voting preferences of the migrants. The political favorites of the Moldovan diaspora differ from those of their domestic counterparts. Furthermore, there are essential differences in voting patterns among migrants living in different countries. The findings suggest the migrants’ voting behavior is affected in some way by the political and economic realities of the host countries. The voting preferences of voters of the left and right wing parties are mostly affected by the political and socio-economic realities of the country of residence, although members of the diaspora voting for centrist parties are not affected by those factors.

散居国外的政治声音：摩尔多瓦移民的外部投票分析

该研究考察了摩尔多瓦侨民在2014年议会选举中的投票偏好。该论文旨在确定东道国的哪些政治或经济环境对决定移民的投票偏好影响最大。摩尔多瓦侨民的政治偏好与国内同行不同。此外，居住在不同国家的移民在投票模式上也存在根本差异。研究结果表明，移民的投票行为在某种程度上受到东道国政治和经济现实的影响。左翼和右翼政党选民的投票偏好主要受到居住国政治和社会经济现实的影响，尽管投票给中间派政党的散居国外的成员不受这些因素的影响。
