Chapter 4 presents the field work carried out in Mexico in the summer of 2007 in the states of Zacatecas, Puebla, and Jalisco. It first describes how the author outlined those particular sites in the different parts of the country. It then presents some data from the interviews conducted with mayors and other local officials. This chapter shows the multiple ways in which authorities believe that migrants are causing change in the way that their communities behave, whether politically or in other socially relevant ways.

Chapter 6 uses the theory developed in chapter 2 to test the Ecuadorian case. It begins by detailing Ecuadorian migration and how it contrasts with Mexican and Colombian migration, particularly the reasons behind it and the preferred destinations. The chapter find that communities with a larger number of migrants were both more likely to have increased electoral competitiveness at the local level and crucial in the first election of Rafael Correa, but they were also were less likely to vote in favor of a government body aimed at censorship of the media.

Chapter 2 lays out a theory of migrant influence. It does so by borrowing heavily on the theories of social remittances and economic remittances as well as social networks. It shows how and why migrants are more or less likely to shape a country’s politics. It develops the ideas of how contexts and social networks work together and how these elements can limit or expand the influence of migrants.

Chapter 5 uses the theory laid in chapter 2 to test the Colombian case. It begins by documenting the particular nature of Colombian migration, specifically how it differs from both Mexican and Ecuadorian migration. The chapter find that communities with higher levels of migrants are more likely to have increased electoral competitiveness, more political participation at the local level, and vote for a more varied number of parties at the national level. It also shows that these localities played a key role in the election of Juan Manuel Santos and the success of the 2016 peace referendum.
第五章运用第二章的理论对哥伦比亚案例进行检验。它首先记录了哥伦比亚移民的特殊性,特别是它与墨西哥和厄瓜多尔移民的不同之处。本章发现,移民水平较高的社区更有可能提高选举竞争力,在地方一级有更多的政治参与,并在国家一级投票给更多不同数量的政党。报告还显示,这些地方在胡安·曼努埃尔·桑托斯(Juan Manuel Santos)的选举和2016年和平公投的成功中发挥了关键作用。

The conclusion summarizes the findings of the book. It uses a comparative approach to underline more explicitly how each case has contributed to our understanding. It then moves on to consider what the findings might tell us about other regions of the world. It specifically considers Central America, parts of South America, south Asia, and Africa.
