How does receiving remittances from abroad influence support for protest participation in origin democracies? Drawing on survey data from Latin America and the Caribbean, a region where social discontent quickly escalates and takes disruptive forms, it is found that remittance recipients do not vary from non‐recipients in their support for peaceful and legal modes of protest. However, compared to non‐recipients, those receiving remittances are more approving of citizens collectively acting outside of formal mechanisms or institutions, thus justifying unlawful and disruptive protest behaviour. Statistical analysis additionally reveals that support for violent protests among recipients is linked to their dissatisfaction with political parties and politicians, especially when these actors rely on patronage and clientelist exchanges to sway voter turnout. The article adds to our understanding of how migrants and the resources they send back home influence the character of political participation in developing democracies.

移民资金与政治动荡：拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的汇款和支持抗议活动


接收来自国外的汇款如何影响对原籍民主国家抗议参与的支持？根据拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的调查数据，该地区的社会不满情绪迅速升级并采取破坏性形式，发现汇款接收者与非接收者在支持和平和合法的抗议方式方面并无不同。然而，与非收款人相比，那些收到汇款的人更赞成公民在正式机制或机构之外集体行动，从而为非法和破坏性的抗议行为辩护。统计分析还显示，受助者对暴力抗议的支持与他们对政党和政客的不满有关，尤其是当这些行为者依靠赞助和客户交流来影响选民投票率时。这篇文章增加了我们对移民和他们送回家乡的资源如何影响发展中民主国家政治参与特征的理解。
