Abstract With the help of Immigrant Inclusion Index (IMIX), a quantitative tool for measuring electoral inclusion immigrants, we demonstrate that European democracies are much more exclusive than they should be. All normative theories democracy share conviction it is imperative include long‐term immigrant residents into demos – either by granting citizenship or introducing alien voting rights. But even 20 most established and stable within EU far from fully realizing ideal ‘universal...
Elaborating a popular assumption about the effects of immigration policies on integration migrants, we argue in this article that more restrictive lead to selection immigrants with greater potential, and should foster migrant integration. To test argument, combine country-level data from Immigration Policies Comparison (IMPIC) database individual-level economic, political social multiple rounds European Social Survey (ESS) across 22 countries. We show that, first, do not increase likelihood...
The electoral franchise has become more universal as restrictions based on criteria such sex or property have been lifted throughout the process of democratisation. Yet, a broad range exclusions persisted to this date, making suffrage non-universal, even in established democracies. In article, we present ELECLAW, new set indicators that captures subtle and variegated legal landscape persisting rights restrictions. We measure inclusiveness right vote stand candidate across four levels three...
Abstract In this article, I present the second version of Citizenship Regime Inclusiveness Index (CITRIX 2.0). It measures inclusiveness regulations for immigrants’ access to citizenship across 23 OECD countries from 1980 2019, zooming in on four essential policy components: conditions regarding (1) birthright; (2) residence; (3) renunciation; and (4) integration. While explaining construction dataset, advance a synthetic approach index methodology. The main idea is use statistical...
This article starts from the premise that those who debate and study expansion of demoi/electorates – practitioners to empirical scholars normative theorists should consider more seriously migrants are always immigrants emigrants at same time. Doing so implies, first, states can regulate their electorates through four distinct "enfranchisement regimes" in times transnational mobility: (1) national, (2) territorial, (3) generally inclusive, (4) exclusive. Second, because spread dual/multiple...
Abstract In this article, I introduce a typology that maps the regulation of two fundamental boundaries modern nation-states regarding immigration: territorial and membership boundaries. Based on theory structural logics underlying Immigration Regime Openness (IRO) Citizenship Inclusiveness (CRI), make four observations two-dimensional policy space determined by relative porousness these First, Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CATPCA) using combination original existing panel data...
Due to a lack of data, quantitative analysis integration policy trends during the past decade has received limited attention. This research note presents newly collected data from Migrant Integration Policy Index, which includes information on several different areas related migrant in 36 EU and OECD countries between 2010 2019. Employing wide set methods, we investigate whether policies have become more liberal or restrictive they converged across these this period. We find that overall...
Today democratic nation-states are confronted with populations that consist not only of sedentary residents, but also immigrants. For these democracies to retain full legitimacy, it is imperative long-term immigrant residents included into the demos, so all those who subjected national laws can take part in creating them. Treating this consensus theory as a normative benchmark, paper we develop nucleus quantitative tool for comparative evaluation respect their electoral inclusiveness toward...

Thanks to the work undertaken by different research teams (GLOBALCIT, MACIMIDE, MIPEX…), data on citizenship policies are becoming available a wide range of countries worldwide. The collection these makes it possible develop new comparative frameworks that go beyond dominant European/Western-centred perspective we find in traditional studies. development cross-regional allows testing generalisability explanations for policy-variations more comprehensively and contributes formulating...
