本研究將海外移民和選舉研究結合在一起,重點關注於海外移民透過海外不在籍投票參與母國的政治。 本篇主要使用社會經濟學之觀點、再社會化之因素、以及前述兩者對移民投票行為之影響等三項概念進行研究。 本研究以定居臺灣之菲律賓籍移民的觀點為中心,探討他們透過海外不在籍投票(OAV)對菲律賓海外投票政策的認識、參與投票和投票意識的重要性。 結果顯示,教育作為一個社會經濟程度上的指標,符合研究假設中教育如何積極影響海外移民對母國的政治參與、以及對選舉的觀點。 另一方面,移民在海外停留的時間長度作為再社會化之指標,研究發現顯示僅有較微弱的關聯性,若在假設更長的海外停留時間,會使移民遠離母國政治和選舉參與的情况之下,產生出既正面又截然不同的兩種結果。
Bringing migration and electoral studies together, this research focuses on emigrants' homeland political participation through external voting. It primarily uses the concepts of socioeconomic and resocialization factors and their influence on migrants’ voting behaviors. The study centers on Taiwan-based Filipino migrants’ perspectives and explores their awareness, participation, and perceived importance of the Philippines’ external voting policy through Overseas Absentee Voting (OAV). Results show that education as a socioeconomic indicator coincided more with assumptions on how it can positively influence emigrants’ homeland political and electoral participation or perspectives. On the other hand, length of stay abroad as a resocialization indicator shows a weaker link, yielding both positive and contrasting results on assumptions that a longer stay abroad distances emigrants from homeland politics and electoral participation.
