Abstract

ABSTRACT Based on an original survey (n = 1,017), this paper examines citizens’ participation patterns in the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ (‘TRNC’), a de facto state recognised only by Turkey. Since 1974 the ‘TRNC’ has been receiving a constant flow of immigrants from its patron state (Turkey). While Turkish immigrants make up a sizeable proportion of the electorate, they seem to be underrepresented in the political arena. Our findings show that, in determining the level of political participation, socio-economic factors are pre-eminent while having an immigrant background has only very limited effect and gender does not have any impact.

土著人和移民的政治参与:土族塞人选民的身份和社会经济地位

基于一项原始调查(n = 1,017)，本文研究了“北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国”(“TRNC”)的公民参与模式，这是一个仅由土耳其承认的事实上的国家。自1974年以来，“TRNC”一直从其保护国(土耳其)接收源源不断的移民。虽然土耳其移民在选民中占相当大的比例，但他们在政治舞台上的代表性似乎不足。我们的研究结果表明，在决定政治参与水平时，社会经济因素是最重要的，而移民背景的影响非常有限，性别没有任何影响。
