| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Among the Salvadoran dual nationals born in El Salvador, there are high levels of interest and participation both in U.S. and Salvadoran politics, but most hope to go back to their native country in the future because of their nostalgia for it. Those who regularly return to El Salvador to vote tend to think of acquiring U.S. citizenships as a way of bringing their family members from El Salvador, but among those who do not, more women than men find a political merit of participating in U.S. politics in becoming U.S. citizens. Meanwhile, if analyzing the tendency of the will to participate in Salvadoran politics among those living in the U.S., the findings are as follows: there are high levels of interest in the elections of MPs representing their nationals abroad as well as of Presidents, and it does not mean they have high levels of interest in Salvadoran politics only because they possess ID cards peculiar to El Salvador which are needed to participate in Salvadoran politics.

二重国籍者を含む在外国民が日常的に持つ移民先国・出身国との様々な関係には、物理的なものだけではなく心理的なものも含まれる。こうしたトランスナショナルな関係は、グローバル化が進む現代社会ではごく当たり前となっている中で、具体的にいかなる形がありうるのか等、日本の「移民の大量受け入れ」の時代を前に考えておくべき課題を知ることができる。特に、在外国民に本国の選挙権を保障することはグローバル化社会における国家の責務とされる傾向が強まっているが、その範囲や方法については議論が分かれる。このテーマに関する他国の事例研究は、客観的な判断材料の蓄積につながるといえよう。
